| @aIS BOOK is dedicated to the Home Builders of America 
in the sincere hope that by its aid their standard of 

living may be further raised, the design of American 

homes improved and their comforts increased. 


(OC 


LA, 
FAAS A 
5 


Investigation having shown that 90 per cent of the homes built in 
this country cost from $3,500 to $15,000, the houses illustrated 
in this book are confined to those falling within these price limits. 


HOME BUILDERS CATALOG is designed, not for millionaires, 
but for the millions—for that great mass of the American people who 
are the life-blood of the nation and whom Lincoln said ‘“‘God must 
have loved because he made so many of them.” 


The largest investment ever made by the average family is the sum 
of money invested in a home. How necessary, then, it is that every 
precaution should be taken to safeguard this investment and to make 
it a source of lasting satisfaction—the satisfaction that can be derived 
only from a home that is attractive in appearance, convenient in 
arrangement, and thoroughly well built of time-tested and reliable 
materials. ; 


In the Manufacturers’ Section of HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 
will be found authentic information on each class of building material 
and on other products necessary for the construction and equipment 
of the home, and in the Plan Section are hundreds of attractive de- 
signs of houses, each of which has actually been built. The illustra- 
tions are from photographs, giving a clearer idea of how the house 
will look when finished than can possibly be conveyed by an imagi- 
nary sketch. 


A careful study of the floor plans will reveal many unique features 
designed to add to the comfort and convenience of the home without 
materially increasing its cost. Complete working blue-print plans of 
any house illustrated can be obtained through the building contractor 
whose name appears on the front cover of this book. 


Of this 1926 edition of HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 20,000 copies 
were printed and distributed to leading building contractors who 
specialize in home construction. Copies are also on file in many 
public libraries. With this broad distribution it is hoped and believed 
that the helpful information contained in this book will be available 
to hundreds of thousands of home builders and will aid them, with 
the help of their building contractor, in securing more attractive, sub- 
stantial and conveniently arranged homes than would otherwise have 
been possible. 


We advocate maximum dealer distribution.

Suggested Uses: 


ALPHA CEMENT witl give the best results in every type of im- 
provement calling for a high-grade Portland Cement. The requisites 
are simple—that it be thoroughly mixed with proper proportions of 
water and suitable aggregates—clean sand and crushed stone, gravel 
or pebbles, slag, or other approved coarse aggregate. All cement 
improvements should be reinforced at points that undergo strain. 

ALPHA CHMENT improvements, whether for the home building 
proper or for supplementary improvements for the yard or farm, 
have much in their favor. They can be made rust-proof, rat-proof, é 5 ’ Biainabl 
rot-proof, fireproof and water-proof. As the illustrations on this page Four different Se al ape hide aes 
show, there is a pleasing variety of surface finishes obtainable. a i 
This variety may be increased by the use of suitable coloring matter 
inthe mortar. The Alpha Cement Handbook, illustrated on this page, gives formulas for obtaining 
these color effects, whether for main walls of house or for porches, walks, gate-posts, etc. 
ALPHA CEMENT stucco mortar may be applied directly to the surface of the coarsely finished 
cement block with satisfying results. Such an exterior always looks well and requires no painting. 


Tables for Use of ALPHA CEMENT: 


In addition to the table shown at the bottom of this page, the ALPHA CEMENT literature 
contains many other useful tables.

Directions for Placing a Stucco Coat: 


Drench the masonry and cement block walls thoroughly with water, but let drain off before 
applying the stucco. Apply the stucco continuously in one direction, and do not let the edges dry 
up. Work stucco coats only to an extent that is absolutely necessary. Keep mortar coats wet for 
several days. Apply water as soon as each coat has hardened enough so that it will not wash. 
Apply the finish coat only after previous coats have been cured for at least one week. Use only 
wood float to prepare the finish coat for final surface finishing.

WHITE CEMENT 


Waterproofed or Plain 


Bay Bridge, Ohio 


Products 

In giving of specifications for the use of 
Medusa White Portland Cement for Stucco 
it 1S necessary to mention another Medusa 
Product, Medusa Integral Waterproofing. 
The following specifications proceed on the 
assumption that every builder wants to real- 
ize the utmost from his investment. For 
that reason Medusa 
Waterproofing is rec- 
ommended for use 
with all gray Port- 
land Cement work 
and Medusa Water- 
proofed White Ce- 
ment is recommended 
for use in the second 
and third coats of 
Stucco. 


Uses for Medusa White 
Portland Cement Other 
Than Stucco 


Medusa White Port- 
land Cement will be 
found valuable at many points in home con- 
struction. Among them might be listed side- 
walks, driveways, basement plaster coat, 
interior plaster work, cast-stone trim and 
garden furniture, mortar for laying up 
tile in bath rooms, mortar for laving up 
incidental stone or brickwork such as 
chimneys or entrance-ways, etc. ‘These uses 
will suggest many more where the stainless 
qualities of Medusa White Portland Cement 
will prove valuable. 


Fundamental Rules for the Production of Good 
Stucco 


(a) Use proper proportions and carefully selected 
sand and aggregates of correct fineness. 

(b) If an absorbent base, such as hollow tile, con- 
erete block or brick is used, it must be sprinkled with 
water to the point of saturation before applying fresh 
stucco. 

(ec) <All stucco eoats—base or seratch coat, sec- 
ond or brown coat, third or finish eoat—must be 


Medusa Products include: 
Medusa White Portland 
Cement, Medusa Water- 
proofing, Medusa Cement 
Paint and Medusa Gray 
Cement. 


waterproof. This is just as important in the case 
of the base coat as any other, since the base coat 
must not possess sufficient ‘‘suction’’ or absorptive 
tendency to take up the water from the fresh cement 
plaster or stucco coat applied to it before the cement 
has had an opportunity to hydrate, and the coat to 
set. 

(d) Each stucco coat must be sprinkled with 
water before applying the next coat; and the finish 
coat must be kept evenly 
moist by sprinkling. In 
hot weather the work must 
be shielded from the direct 
rays of the sun, and pro- 
tected at all times from the 
wind. 

The wmportance of these 
precautions cannot be over- 
estimated. 


Materials 


The Cement for the 
first coat (base or 
scratch coat) shall be 
standard gray Port- 
land cement conform- 
ing to the specifica- 
tions of the American Society for Testing 
Materials, with addition of Medusa Water- 
proofing, powder or paste, to the amount of 
2 per cent by weight of the cement used 
(2 lbs. to the sack of cement). 


The Cement for the second or brown 
eoat and the third or finish coat, shall be 
Medusa Waterproofed White Portland 
Cement. 


1. Fine Aggregate—Fine aggregate shall consist 
of sand, or screenings from crushed stone or erushed 
pebbles, evenly graded from fine to coarse, passing 
when dry a No. 8 screen. Fine aggregates should 
preferably be of silicious materials, clean, coarse, and 
free from loam, vegetable, or other deleterious matter. 


2. Hydrated Lime—Hydrated lime shall meet the 
requirements of the standard specifications for hy- 
drated lime of the American Society for Testing Ma- 
terials, being used to add plasticity to the mixture 
and to act as a water retainer, sufficient to perfect 
erystallization, and to prevent too rapid drying out.

Manufactured by 


THE SANDUSKY CEMENT COMPANY, CLEVELAND, OHIO 


(Continued from Preceding Page) 


3. Coloring Matter—Only permanent, 
lime-proof colors shall be used. Finish coat 
containing colors shall be applied as dry as 
possible to prevent separation of the colors. 
(The use of Medusa Waterproofing will 
prevent the gradual washing-out of a color 
surface. ) 


4. Water—Water shall be clean, free 
from oil, acid, strong alkali or vegetable 
matter. 


Mortar Coats 


Mortar—All coats shall be 1 part Water- 
proofed Portland Cement and 3 parts fine 
ageregate; hydrated lime for buttering pur- 
poses, 10 per cent of the cement used. 

Application—The plastering shall be ap- 
plied with a steel trowel and carried on con- 
tinually in one general direction without 
allowing the plaster to dry at the edge. If it 
is impossible to work the full width of the 
wall at one time, the joining shall be at some 
natural division of the surface, such as a 
window or door. 


The first coat shall thoroughly cover the 
base on which it is applied and shall be trow- 
eled enough to insure the best obtainable 
bond. Before the coat has set it shall be 
heavily cross-scratched with a saw-tooth 
metal paddle or other suitable device to pro- 
vide a strong mechanical key. 

The first coat shall be thoroughly wet 
down before the second coat is applied. The 
second coat shall be applied, whenever pos- 
sible, on the day following the application of 
the scratch coat, and shall be brought to a 
true and even surface by screening at inter- 
vals not exceeding 5 feet, and by constant 
use of strengthening rod. 

When the second coat has stiffened suffi- 
ciently, it shall be dry floated with a wood 
float and lightly and evenly cross-scratched 
to form a good mechanical bond for the 
finish coat. 


The day following the application of the 
second coat, and for not less than three days 


thereafter, the stueco must be thoroughly 
sprayed at frequent intervals and kept from 
drying out. 

The finish coat shall be applied not less 
than a week after the application of the 
second coat. Methods of application will 
hereinafter be described under ‘* Finish.” 

Drying Out—The finish coat must not be 
permitted to dry out rapidly, and adequate 
precaution must be taken to make this cer- 
tan, by sprinkling frequently after the mor- 
tar is set hard enough to permit tt, or by 
hanging wet burlap or similar material over 
the surface, during hot weather. 

Freezing—Stueco should not be applied 
when the temperature is below 32 degrees F’., 
nor under any condition such that ice or 
frost may form on the surface of the wall. 


Finishes 

The architectural treatment of the house 
should determine the exact finish given the 
stucco. Lack of space here makes it 1mpos- 
sible to us to discuss this important question. 
However, we’ll gladly supply catalogs giving 
complete information on the handling’ of 
stucco. These may be had at any time, along 
with definite information on any particular 
job. 


Service 

Medusa Products are obtainable all over 
the country from leading building materials 
dealers. If you are unable to locate your 
Medusa dealer, we’ll gladly give you his 
name and address. He will assist you on any 
problem relating to stueco work and will 
also be able to place in your hands Medusa 
literature and catalogs covering the work 
both with text and illustrations. 


Service 

As outlined above you will note that serv- 
ice on Medusa Produets is obtainable from 
two sources. At our offices, or from your 
own local dealer—both stand ready and will- 
ing to serve you at all times.

What Is the Easiest Home to 
Build and Sell? 


A brick home, always. Building with 
brick requires practically no equipment, 
less labor, and involves fewer delays. A 
thousand brick per day is a fair average 
for one man to lay. 

Selling a brick home is always easy 
because people want such homes. Feature 
the 100% brick home, and thereby cash 
in on the advertising of this Association. 
Make it your advertising. 


What Is Brick? 

Genuine brick is made by burning clay 
until everything decayable or burnable 
has been burned out. Brick is the near- 
est approach to an everlasting material 
made by man. 


What Is a Brick Home? 

One that is 100% brickwork—brick 
footings, basement or foundation walls, 
side walls, chimneys, fireplaces, porches, 
and steps. There is no substitute for 
brick of burned clay, nor is there any 
economy, in first cost or upkeep, in using 
anything but genuine brick throughout. 


Why Is a Brick Home Best? 


Primarily because it costs almost noth- 
ing to maintain. Brick requires no paint, 
has a resale value often greater than its 
original cost, and its beauty grows as 
time and weather mellow the colors in 
the burned clay. 

Then, too, brick is easily and quickly 
handled. The mason quickly lays it into 
a wall unrivaled for strength and _ sta- 
bility. Being built of small bonded units the load is quickly 
transmitted over a large area. No special sizes or shapes are 
required for corners, jambs, etc. And brick is always obtain- 
able from a local manufacturer. 


What Does a Brick Home Cost? 


As little or as much as you want to spend. Your brick home 
may actually cost less than frame. The finest brickwork 
throughout should cost only $400 to $500 more. Four types 
of brick walls have been developed to give you a 100% brick 
home at almost any price.

The Finest Solid Wall 


You can build an ordinary six room 
house of solid brickwork for only $400 or 
$500 more than for frame. This small 
added cost is repaid many times in higher 
resale value and the lack of painting. 
Compared to other solid walls, those of 
brick cost less, last longer, look better, 
and give more satisfaction. 


The Finest Hollow Walls 


At a cost actually less than for other 
types of hollow walls, you can build with 
brick. And your brick hollow wall is 
highest in strength, most resistant to fire, 
and costs less to maintain. Brick hollow 
walls are built 8 or 12 im. thick, as de- 
sired. They have the same distinctive 
appearance as all real brickwork. 


The Economy Wall 


At a cost far less than other types of 
masonry, and often less than frame, you 
ean build the Economy Brick Wall. For 
bungalows, small homes, and other light 
construction, this wall gives you, at no 
extra cost, the lasting economy of real 
brickwork.

NOTES 


1. In case two or more kinds of brick, bonds, or joinings 


are used on exterior or interior surfaces, simply re- 

peat the clauses as required. 

The backs of all parapets, and other like surfaces ex- 

posed to view, should be of the same face brick as speci- 

fied for adjoming walls. 

3. The standard sizes of face brick as established by The 
American Face Brick Association are approximately 214x 
8x3% in. for rough and 24%4,x8x3% in. for smooth brick. 
In laying out «face brick work it is essential that the 
architect’ ascertain the exact size of the brick to be 
used before the drawings are made. 

4. As such surfaces. are generally subject to snow drifts, 
an extra hard brick is necessary to resist action of frost. 

5. For % in. to % in. joints, use sand that will pass 


we) 


passing a slightly finer mesh. For wider joints use tor- 
pedo sand, gravel, or crushed stone screenings, depending 
on width of joint. Colored sand or colored stone screen- 
ings may be used for colored joints. For white joints use 
pure white silica sand; or marble dust, either of which 
is furnished on the market in bags. In case cement mor- 
tar is used, a white cement is necessary. 

6. Recommended, except in special cases, for all exterior 

work. 

Amount and method of mixing should follow the recom- 

mendations of the manufacturer, unless individual experi- 

ence has taught otherwise. Note that amount differs with 
size of joint. 

8. When bricks are made with a depression, a very thin 

joint may be secured by spreading the usual mortar bed. 

In dry warm weather, non-vitreous brick may be wetted 

before laying, as experience dictates. 

10. Variations of jointing are possible in the same job 
such as raked horizontal with flush vertical joints, wide 
horizontal with narrow vertical joints, flush joints in 
panels with raked joints in bordering parts, ete., when 
special shadow effects in the texture of the wall are 
desired. 

11. Number of headers depends on bonds used and require- 
ments of local ordinances. 

12. For Running Bond only, and if allowed by local ordi-

“Midvale Ironspots” 

The peculiarity of the shades produced 
in the Ironspots gives to the builder a 
brick that is distinctive. They can be 
furnished in light brown, medium and 
light orange tones. As is the case of the 
Midvale Buffs, they are vertically scored, 
regular in size and straight mechanically. 
The specks on the surface of the brick 
are natural iron fused from the clay 
itself. 


“Newcomerstown Buffs” 


Produced in smooth, vertical and matt 
textures and in uniform shades. These 
bricks have just a touch of grey in the 
color that gives somewhat of a drab effect. 
The requirements of a smooth brick are 
uniformity of size, sharp edges and cor- 
ners and an absolute smooth surface and 
we have it here in Newcomerstown Buffs. 
Readily adaptable for both interior and 
exterior use. 


“Newcomerstown Greys” : 


Produced in smooth, vertical and matt 
textures. The grey color is obtained by 
the addition of pure, finely ground méab- 
ganese ore to fire clay. They all comé it wy 
a medium grey shade, meeting the re- 
quirements of the builder that desires 
something between the reds and the buffs. 
The smooths meet the requirements for 
both exterior and interior use. 


“Georgia Whites” and Georgia Ivories” 
A distinctive impervious face brick produced to meet the growing demand for lighter 


shades.

THE IRONCLAY BRICK are unique in character, color and 
composition. They are the product of a fine grade of fire-clay 
containing two non-magnetic elements of iron. Being made 
from fire-clay without any artificial ingredients whatever, Iron- 
clay Brick will stand a heat that will melt iron or convert 
marble to dust. 


We manufacture Standards, Romans, Normans and Shapes 
in seven different colors ranging from an old ivory to a deep 
bronze. No other Flashed Brick on the market approximates 
the Ironclay in delicacy and beauty of color,

WBC Brand Clay Products 


Manufactured by 


WESTERN BRICK COMPANY Danville, Minois 


Member, American Face Brick Association 


Products 

The WBC line covers a wide range 
of clay and shale products, including 
face brick and common brick. 

WBC Face Brick has for many 
years had a wide distribution among dealers 
in the Middle West and has during the last 
few years been extensively used in the East 
and South. The line includes a variety of 
popular and distinctive surface textures in 
the buff, brown and red color ranges. The 
leading numbers are: 

WBC HamMered TEXTURE — Resembles 
the beautiful texture of hammered metals. 
It is a highly finished, mechanically perfect 
brick, suitable for both interior and ex- 
terior work. The face is so thoroughly 
impervious and the 
indentations so shght 
that rain will readily 
wash it clean, vet the 
texture is sufficient 
to deepen and soften 
the color. This tex- 
ture is protected by 
basic patents. Made 
in every shade from 
hght buff, through tans and reds to almost 
black. 

WBC Stipptep Mixture—Another exclu- 
sive and distinctive WBC texture that has 
increased in popularity year after year. 
All grain and lines are eliminated, the tex- 
ture consisting of small indentations that 
give a rich, velvety effect. The color range 
is complete, including every desirable shade. 

WBC VEETEX is a regularly scored, 
mechanically perfect, vertical texture brick, 
standard in every way. Produced in the 
bruliant reds and browns of the shale 
colors. 

WBC Marte Texture—Similar to orig- 
inal textures or rough surface brick, but re- 
fined and highly developed. Made in the 
buff, tan and brown ranges. <A big seller in 
the medium-price field. 


WBC Emprre—The charm of this texture lies in its 
variety and ruggedness. It is bold and gives a won- 
derful tone and depth to the red and brown colors. 
A very popular, medium-priced Face Brick. 


Trade-Mark 


WBC Hammered Texture 


WBC CtorstTErs have a smooth sur- 
face but are treated, in the process of 
manufacture, to eliminate all harsh 
glaze and to deepen and soften the 
color. Their quality, color effect and 
durability, together with their fair price, 
make them the best value for the cost. 
Long a favorite and a big seller. It is only 
through big production that this brick can 
be produced at its present price. Made in 
reds and browns. <A big winner. 

WBC Common Brick is sorted to three 
grades: 

Dark Mediums — Thoroughly vitrified, 
with a low absorption, high crushing and 
cross breaking strength. Recommended for 
foundations, or any work where 
exceptional strength 
is required. Not se- 
lected for color but 
only for strength 
and absorption. 

Red Mediums — A 
general _ purpose 
brick, suitable for 
any ordinary foun- 
dation or backing up 
work; an excellent brick for the dealer to 
carry in stock. 

Inght Mediwms—Suitable for inside and back-up 


work only; not recommended or suggested where 
exposed to the weather.

Clinton Mortar Colors 


Made since 1887 by 


THE CLINTON METALLIC PAINT COMPANY 
Clinton, New York 


Products 


For the past 38 years, The Clinton Metallic 
Paint Company has been making a wide va- 
riety of mortar colors. In addition, they make 
metallic paints and roof cement. To the lead- 
ing architects and building contractors, as well 
as to thousands of home owners, the name of 
**Clinton’’ has come to mean exceptional de- 
pendability and satisfaction. 
Colors always have been noted for their per- 
manence and uniformity. 


1/5 of Your Brickwork Is Mortar 


Many people are somewhat surprised when told that the 
mortar joint in a brick wall constitutes anywhere from 1/6 to 
nearly 1/4 of the entire surface of the wall—depending upon 
the bond, or arrangement, of the bricks. Knowing this, the 
matter of mortar is not dismissed as it used to be, with an air 
of indifference as though of small consequence. For its im- 
portance from the standpoint of beauty, as well as utility, is 
recognized by all who have made a really broad study of the 
planning and erection of buildings, 


Colors. 


The Coloring of Mortar 


The present popularity of colored mortar in brick-walled 
buildings is no passing vogue. It has been used for years and 
the striking improvement that it can make in the appearance 
of a structure has developed it from the experimental stage of 
years ago to a general modern practice. 

A plain, uncolored mortar joint rarely, if ever, increases the 
natural beauty of a brick structure. More often than not it 
actually mars the general effectiveness of carefully selected 
brick and, unfortunately, the condition can not be remedied 
once the wall is laid. 

Once the beautiful effects obtainable with Clinton Mortar 
Colors are seen in a finished building, the very shght economy 
of using plain mortar is hard to justify. 


Enhances Beauty of Brickwork 


The distinctive beauty of old brick homes both in America 
and abroad has long been a subject of interest and study to 

prominent architects and building contractors. And there is 
no concealing the important contribution given it by mortar, 
colored by aging, slightly tinted sands that happened to be 
available or in some cases by the actual mixing of colors with 
the mortar. 

The significant thing is that much the same effects can be 
obtained today, but in a far greater variety, through the use 
of Clinton Mortar Colors. And not only on the outside sur- 
faces of your building, but on the interior brickwork of fire- 
places and chimneys as well. Brick surfaces that would other- 
wise be commonplace can be endowed with the lasting charm of 
attractively blended colors by giving careful attention to both 
mortar and brick. 


Increases Value of Your House = 


It can be honestly said that there are few items in the con- 
struction of a house which yield so much satisfaction: and 
value in proportion to their cost as the specification of a Clin- 
ton color for the mortar. Judiciously used, it gives the house 
a visible and permanent auset that is simply lost by the use of 
uncolored mortar. 

Far-sighted building contractors recognize this and, more 
and more, houses built to be sold are being given the unde- 
niable advantage of colored mortar joints. And this is equally 
true of houses built under the direction of their permanent 
owners. lor the amount of satisfaction and contentment which 
the finished home affords constitutes the greatest part of its 
value to the owner. 


To be sure of a thoroughly 
are dependable Mortar Color look 
Clinton Mortar for this yellow label, which 
appears upon all bags or bar- 


rels containing Clinton Mortar 


It is obvious, of course, from an investment 
standpoint as well as that of enduring beauty, 
that the mortar colors must be permanent be- 
yond question. Clinton Mortar Colors are 
absolutely sun and rain fast. 


Variety of Clinton Mortar Colors 


These standard mortar colors are available in 
a wide range of shades that offer the home 
builder the broadest possible opportunity for 
making a selection. From a rich, mellow buft 
they range through warm browns, olive green 
and chocolates to the deepest red and blackest black. 

The colors used alone in varying quantities or mixed with 
one another make possible almost any effect from pearl gray 
tones, (produced by using a very little black) or warm aged 
hues, (obtained by using a small amount of buff) to the most 
striking of tones which can be obtained by using these col- 
ors in the quantities specified for them. The list of genuine 
Clinton colors is given in a paragraph on following page. 


Permanence and Uniformity Vital 

Inasmuch as the mortar joint is exposed to varying degrees of 
sunlight and weathering, the need for a permanent and uni- 
form coloring medium is evident. Clinton Mortar Colors are 
mineral colors and as permanent as the colors of natural rock. 
Standardized methods of production and rigid laboratory tests 
keep them absolutely uniform, not only from shipment to 
shipment but from year to year. The full importance of this 
is apparent when the exact duplication of a wall of brick with 
colored mortar joints is desired, often many years after- 
wards. « 


Selecting Your Mortar Color 

You will note that the first three colored panels shown here- 
with all have identically the same shades and arrangement of 
brick. The striking difference in the appearance of each wall 
as a whole was obtained entirely by the use of different Clin- 
ton Mortar Colors. These three panels alone are impressive 
evidence of the rather surprising variety of treatments that a 
wall can be given through the use of Clinton Mortar Colors. 

In order to help in a choice of the proper Clinton color to 
use with the brick you have selected, we have devised the Clin- 
ton Mortar Color Experimenter. This consists of a number of 
strips of wall board 1% inch thick, tinted along the edges to 
reproduce the appearance of colored mortars. By using these, 
brick panels can be built up and studied with the various col- 
ored strips without the use of actual mortar. 

Every Clinton Mortar Color dealer has one of these experi- 
menters for the convenience of his customers. 


Test Panels Advisable 


After selecting a Clinton Mortar Color with the aid of our 
experimenter, a test panel of the brick and colored mortar 
should be set up out of doors before work on the walls is 
actually begun. Local variations in the color of sand and 
cement often make a slight change in the amount of mortar 
color used desirable. 

Test panels should be allowed to stand for a few days before 
a final decision is made, to give the mortar ample opportunity 
to dry out and attain its permanent color. The mortar when 
wet is deeper in shade. 

Warning—Test panels should be of the same thickness as 
the finished wall and should be allowed to dry naturally as 
under working conditions. They should be backed with mortar 
so that drying may be from the surface exposed in actual con- 
struction. 

Directions for Using Clinton Mortar Colors 
To get a mortar joint of intense color it is advisable to use 


approximately 100 Ibs. of dry mortar color per 1000 brick laid 
in running or common bond, with half-inch mortar joints. If

mortar joints are wider or narrower, or if a bond requiring 
more or less mortar per 1000 brick is used, the amount of 
mortar color required per 1000 brick should be increased or 
decreased proportionately. 

Following are two formulas for mortar of deep intense 
color: 


Cement Mortar 


Clinton Mortar Color (dry) 25 Ibs. 
Portland cement tvbaor(d! eur tt.) 


Sand 3 bags (3 cu. ft.) 
Hydrated lime 149 sack 


Mortar Colored with Clinton Double Strength Chocolate No, 402 


The above is sufficient to lay approximately 250 brick in 
running or common bond with half-inch mortar joints. 


Cement Lime Mortar 


Clinton Mortar Color (dry) 30 Ibs. 
Portland cement 1 bueket (16 qts.) 
Hydrated lime 1 bucket (16 qts.) 
Sand 6 buckets (96 qts.) 
The second formula is sufficient to lay approximately 300 
brick in running or common bond with half-inch mortar joints. 
As it is not always convenient to weigh the color on the 
job, we tabulate below the various shades of Clinton Mortar 
Color, showing in separate columns the num- 
ber of quarts of dry Clinton Mortar Color 
(struck measure) which are equivalent to 25 
Ibs. and 30 Ibs.

Clinton Mortar Colors.

If a clear buff mortar is desired a cement- 
lime mortar is recommended. Light colored 
cement and sand also tend to make the color 
of the mortar more brilliant. If a deep buff 
mortar is desired it will be obtained most 
readily by using a cement mortar with cement 
and sand of a dark color. 

Many contractors get good results with 
smaller proportions of Clinton Mortar Colors 
than those above recommended. This is pos- 
sible if coarse sand is used and colors are 
mixed, remixed, then mixed again. Experi- 
ence, however, proves that the amounts of 
color recommended will give good _ results 
under all conditions and we can not assure 
satisfaction if less color is used. Money 
spent for a little extra color often more than 
pays for itself, in power and wages saved at 
the mixer and in the owner’s satisfaction with 
the finished job. 


How to Be Sure of Good Results 


Mistaken attempts at economy and eareless- 
ness in the use of mortar colors sometimes 
cause dissatisfaction with the results. 

Such disappointments are wholly unnecessary 
and can be avoided if the formulas given are 
followed and these precautions are observed: 

(1) Choose a dependable brand—one you

Directions for Using Clinton Mortar Colors—C ontinued 


(2) Make up test panels before you start the job. Make 
them as thick as the finished wall and back them with mortar 
so that drying will be under normal building conditions. Let 
dry thoroughly out of doors before deciding on the color. 
Mortar dries out lighter than it appears when wet. 

(3) Do not change mortar color brands in the middle of a 
job. Some brands are weaker than others and of different 
color tone. 

(4) Do not, in the middle of a job, change the kinds of 
lime, sand or cement used, especially if the mortar is light in 
color, either gray or buff. 

(5) Measure or weigh mortar material accord- 
ing to directions. Do not guess. 

(6) Mix the materials thoroughly. It is best 
to mix the dry color, sand, hydrated lime and 
cement before the water is added, and after the 
water has been added mixing should continue 
until the mass is absolutely free from spots or 
streaks of color. Mixing can hardly be over- 
done. 

(7) If lump lime is used in place of hydrated 
lime it must be thoroughly slaked and allowed to 
cool at least 24 hours before being brought into 
contact with the Mortar Color. Hot lime fades 
color. 

(8) Use Mortar as stiff as practical. Do not 
use ‘‘sloppy’’ mortar. Keep batches as nearly 
us possible at the same consistency throughout 
the job. 

(9) When laying brick with a 14-inch joint, 
do not use amount of color recommended for a 
%-inch joint or vice versa. Occasionally we find 
masons still using for a 14-inch joint (which 
requires twice as much mortar) only 50 pounds 
of color per 1000 brick because that is the 
amount they used when the 14-inch joint was in 
common use. 

(10) Because a certain number of quarts 
of one color in a batch of mortar has given good 
results, do not 
use the same 
number of 
quarts of an- 
other color and 
expect good re- 
sults. Bulk and 
coloring power 
are not the 
same for differ- 
ent colors, as 
will be seen 
from the table on opposite page. The sack of 
Clinton Double Strength Chocolate No. 402 
shown herewith is, for example, about half the 
size of the sack of Clinton Double Strength 
Black No. 800; yet each weighs the same and 
each will color an equal quantity of mortar. In 
coloring mortar, follow the exact direction for 
the specific color wanted and all difficulties will 
be avoided. 

(11) If joints are to be raked, defer raking 
until mortar has began to set. This, together 
with working mortar as dry as possible, will 
help to prevent efflorescence—the appearance of 
a white scum upon the mortar. 

(12) If you do have efflorescence, do not 
worry, and do not blame the mortar color. It 
is caused by water soluble salts in the cement, 
lime, sand or water, that are brought to the 
surface by the water and left there when the 
mortar dries. It is just as common on plain 
mortar joints as on color joints, though it is not 
always so clearly visible. Clinton Mortar Colors 
absolutely do not cause efflorescence, being en- 
tirely free from water soluble salts. 

When mortar is used as dry as possible these 
salts do not come to the surface nearly as much 
as when a ‘‘sloppy’’ mortar is used. When 
joints are raked after the mortar has begun to 
set this efflorescence or scum is removed and 
usually does not appear again. 


In almost every case the action of rain will in time remove 
efflorescence. If, however, it is desired to remove it promptly, 
the surface of the mortar may be scrubbed with a wire brush; 
or a solution consisting of one part muriatic acid to not less 
than twenty parts water may be apphed as a wash. After 
washing the wall with this solution be sure to wash it down 
again with water to remove surplus acid. 


Remember: The man who measures and who mixes the mortar 
holds one of the most responsible positions on the job. Make 
him realize this responsibility and it will save a world of 
trouble and help to insure satisfactory results.

Coloring of Stucco 


The fact that stucco may be tinted has added much to its 
popularity as a facing material. By use of various Clinton 
Mortar Colors, it is possible to color stucco in many pleasing 
tones. 


Coloring of rough surfaced stucco is recommended without. 


qualification. The color lends a rich warmth that ordinary 
gray stucco does not possess. Its use offers no difficulties and 
brings no disappointments if specifications are followed with 
care. 


In smooth finished stueco the color follows the trowel or 
float, giving a surface of somewhat irregular or mottled 
appearance. Many architects consider that this increases the 
interest of the finished wall and improves the effect. But 
those whose minds are fixed upon a wall of unbroken color 
uniformity are advised before using it to study the effects that 
color gives in smooth finished stucco. 

Irregularity and non-uniformity in stucco are increasingly 
popular. This is evidenced by the large number of jobs where 
the sweep of the trowel is emphasized and where its traces 
add to the interest of the wall surface. 


The following formula is suggested: 


1 quart Clinton Mortar Color (Note 1) 
1 quart hydrated lime (if desired) 
10 quarts white portland cement (Note 2) 
30 quarts sand. 


This batch covers about 125 sq. ft. finish coat. Only the 
finish coat need be colored. 


Nore 1. We recommend the following Clinton Mortar Colors 
as producing very pleasing shades when used in stucco as 
per this formula. Approximate weight per quart (struck 
measure) is given in each instance for convenience in esti- 
mating.

PANEL A 


Duo- and Multi-colored Stucco 


The popularity of duo- and multi-colored stucco, which is 
being used so extensively in Southern Florida, is rapidly spread- 
ing throughout the country. Clinton Mortar Colors and Cement 
Colors are particularly well adapted to the coloring of stucco 
of this type. 


In duo- and multi-colored stucco work, the two ordinary base 
coats are applied as usual and allowed time for setting. For 
the finish coats, the following formula is suggested: 


Sand 3 parts 
White cement 1 part 
Color M49 part (or volume equivalent to 10% of 


volume of cement used.) 
Lime (optional) 40 part 


In order to secure pleasing tones of buff or yellow, a light 
eolored yellowish sand is recommended and white portland 
cement is essential. 


The first colored coat should be applied approximately 
%-ineh thick, with a smooth or sand finish. Blue and green 
are popular for first colored coats. 


The second colored coat may be applied almost immedi- 
ately. It should be spatter-dashed with a whiskbroom, allow- 
ing the first colored coat to show here and there at varying 
intervals. Although the area of the second colored coat should 
be somewhat greater than the final visible area of the first 
colored coat, this exact proportion will depend upon individual 
taste, size of building, and control of throwing spatter-dash. 


The projections of the second colored coat should then be 
smoothed down with a steel trowel held almost flat against 
the surface. 


An unlimited variety of pleasing color combinations may be 
obtained in this type of stucco. Two panels of duo-colored 
stucco thus prepared are illustrated below. For panel A the 
first coat is colored with Clinton No, 1502 Green Cement Color, 
the second coat with Clinton No. 717 Buff Mortar Color. For 
panel B the first coat is colored with Clinton No. 1601 Blue 
Cement Color, while the second coat is colored with Clinton 
No. 600 Pompeiian Buff Mortar Color. 


Working samples of Clinton Mortar Colors and Clinton 
Cement Colors are willingly furnished on request.

The Growing Popularity of Mortar Colors 

The rapidly increasing demand for Mortar Colors from year 
to year is the best indication of their increasing popularity. 
This is only a natural consequence because they offer to the 
architect and builder a wider range of color effects possible to 
bring out the best in the present high grades of face brick. 
The many different textures and colors in which the better 
grades of face brick are now being made up in, call for a 
judicious use of colors in order that the best effects and 
proper color harmony can be obtained. Since, in an average 
brick wall about 1/5 cf the face area is consumed by the 
mortar joints, it stands to reason that the proper coloring of 
the joints should receive as careful consideration as the selec- 
tion of the brick. 


Special Facilities of C. K. Williams & Co. 


Cc. K. Williams & Co., produces its own Mortar, Cement and Stucco colors 
in its own plants, and with a few minor exceptions, obtains its raw products from 
its Owa mines and raw material deposits. For this purpose it has a highly special- 
ized organization and a plant equipment consisting of 10 mines and raw material 
deposits, and 14 color plants. 

Anchor Brand Mortar, Cement, and Stucco .Colors, backed by forty-eight years 
of experience of the world’s largest producer of mineral pigments, are the stand 
ard of excellence in this line. The policy of the company since its inception 
has been to preduce colors of maximum quality and uniformity. This can be done 
only through absolute control of the cclor beginning with the crude ore in the 
mine to the finished product in the hands of the dealer, an advantage of great- 
est importance to the user. Anchor Brand Colors are highest in quality, there- 
fore cheapest to use. 


Directions for Using Anchor Brand Mortar Colors 


Have the Anchor Brand Mortar Color brought to the job in the original pack- 
ages and do not open until ready to be used. Sand, lime, and cement vary in 
different localities and the proper amount of color ean therefore only be deter- 
mined by experiment. For large. and important jobs we reommend the erection 
of test panel to determine the exact amount of color to be used. These panels 
should be laid up to the same thickness of the proposed wall and all the 
materials should be the sam@ as are to be used in the final work. Please note 
that colored mortar when it is still wet is darker in shade than when dry. Con- 
sequently, the proper color of the joint will only be shown after it has set and 
is thoroughly dry. If the joint is too Jight after it is dry use more color in the 
mix. If too dark use _ less, 


For further details and 
literature, write to: 


Mixing 

Dry color, sand, hydrated lime and cement should be thor- 
oughly mixed before water is added. Add water and continue 
mixing until the mass is absolutely free from spots or streaks 
of color. Mix the mortar as stiff as practicable and keep 
batches as nearly as possible at the same consistency through- 
out the job. The same proportions of ingredients should be 
accurately maintained in all the batches. Do not change the 
kinds of lime, sand, cement and color after the work is begun. 

Opposite the accompanying brick panels are given typical 
formulas for cement mortar with a lime content equal to 
approximately 10 per cent of the cement by weight. It is 
important that the lime be carefully weighed because it is a 
strong white pigment and variations in quantity will cause a 
corresponding variation in the shade of the mortar. If lump 
lime is used instead of hydrated lime, it must be thoroughly 
slaked and allowed to cool at least 24 hours before being 
mixed with the Mortar Color. HOT LIME BLEACHES COLOR. 
Furthermore, slaked lime which has been permitted to age 
for a few days before mixing, makes a better mortar than 
when used immediately. 


Cleaning, Pointing and Raking Joints 

When plasterers have left building, all surface brick and mortar should be 
thoroughly cleaned by applying a solution containing not more than one part of 
muriatic acid to 20 parts of water, using a stiff wire brush. Surface ‘should 
then be rinsed with clean water. All defective joints should be carefully pointed 
up at this time. If joints are to be raked, this should not be done until mortar 
has begun to set. 


Efflorescence—And How to Prevent It 

If mortar is mixed stiff and raking of joints deferred until mortar has 
begun to set, efflorescence will rarely occur. Should it develop, however, it 
may be removed by scrubbing the mortar joints with the muriatic acid solution 
mentioned in preceding paragraph. Efflorescence is in no way caused by the 
Mortar Color. It is due to the occurrence of soluble salts in cement, sand, 
lime, water or brick, and is just as common in plain mortar as in colored 
mortar, though not so easily visible. 


Anchor Brand Cement Colors 

Anchor Brand Cement Colors are of very high quality, producing clear, bright 
tones with a minimum of coloring material. They are used in floors, side- 
walks, cast-stone work, roofing and floor tile, stucco, etec., and should not be 
confused with Mortar Colors. 


Tinted Floors Add to the Charm of a Home 


Many beautiful effects in flooring can be obtained by the use of colored 
cements and at a cost that makes a colored cement floor possible when more 
expensive materials would be prohibitive on account of price.

Anchor Brand Mortar Colors, Cement Colors and Stucco Colors—(Continued) 


When planning a home consider the use of colored cement 
floors for porches, entrance halls, sun parlor, sleeping porch, 
kitchen, breakfast alcove, laundry and sidewalks. The cost of 
colored cement is but little more than plain cement while the 


decorative effect adds greatly to the charm of the home. Be- 
sides that, cement floors are more permanent, 
How to Lay a Colored Cement Floor 

The subfloor under colored cement topping should be laid 


as usual, except that a somewhat drier mix should be used 
and the concrete should be well tamped immediately after pour- 
ing. One inch should be allowed for the top dressing which 
should be laid immediately after the subfloor has been tamped 
and leveled. 


Mixing 

For a one-inch top dressing take equal parts of a good grade 
of cement and fine sharp sand, free from loam, or other im- 
purities. To these add 5 percent, by weight, of the cement 
color. That is to say, if you use 100 lbs. of sand and 100 lbs. 
of cement (making 200 lbs. in all) add 10 lbs. of cement color. 


Cement sand and color should be thoroughly mixed before 
water is added. Only enough water should be used to make 
a heavy paste, and the mixing should then be continued until 
the mass is entirely free from spots or streaks of color. 


Applying the Color Coat 


While the subfioor is still moist, the top dressing should be 
spread over it to a depth of one-half inch and troweled to work 
the air out of the mass. Do not attempt to lay the full depth 
of one-inch at once, but lay half-an-inch of top dressing first 
and gradually build up to the proper level, troweling and 
stroking each additional layer. 


Use the stroke board to chop 
properly mixed, will be too stiff to stroke in the usual way. 
Do not use the trowel or final coat until all water on the 
surface disappears. Remove any surplus cement with trowel 
and level surface. Then wait until surface of cement becomes 
dull and when this occurs finish by dusting lightly with clear 
dry poviant and 10 percent of the cement color, thoroughly 
mixed. 


the surface, as the mass, if

Subsequent Treatment 


The permanence of cement is greatly increased by slow 
setting. To insure this, sprinkle saw dust on floor to a depth 
of 2 inches as soon as top dressing is sufficiently set to pre- 


vent sawdust from sticking. Moisten sawdust with water and 


keep it moist for at least 2 weeks. 


At the end of this period the sawdust should be removed 


and floor washed with linseed oil soap, using a wire brush if 
necessary to remove dirt and stains. When clean and dry, 


spread a 2-inch layer of dry sawdust over the floor and let this 
remain as a protective covering until the house is finished. 


Just before floor is to be put into use remove sawdust, 
sweep well, and polish floor with some good floor wax applied 
according to manufacturer’s directions. The result of follow- 
ing these directions will be a beautiful, permanent and sani- 
tary floor. 


The Tile Effect 


To secure the tile effect in colored cement floors lay the top 
dressing as above directed and wait 48 hours until surface 
has taken the initial set. Then cut surface to a depth of \- 
inch with a three-cornered file sharpened to a diamond point, 
so as to produce the tile effect in the desired pattern. Do not 
attempt to mark off tile pattern while cement is in a plastic 
state as this is sure to result in ragged edges.

Instructions for Laying Stucco Blox 


Mortar—All mortar used for laying up Stucco Blox 
should consist of a standard portland cement and clean, 
sharp sand in the proportion of one part cement to three 
parts sand, well mixed to a smooth, moderately stiff mortar. 

Lime—When permitted by stucco manufacturers, lime 
should not exceed 10% of the cement by volume in the 
mortar. : 

Reinforcement Over Openings—Can be provided by 
metal bars placed horizontally inside of Blox, then filled 
with concrete; or the use of steel lintels. : 

Nailing Devices for Woodwork—Can be provided by 
placing a wood block in the inner wall; by plugging the 
wall, or the use of metal nailing devices. 

Window Sills and Lintels—Stone, brick or concrete can 
be used. 

Placing Floor and Ceiling Joists—Four-inch veneer Blox 
are furnished providing a four-inch shoulder. 

Attaching Roof Plates—By means of bolts set in mortar 
between the Blox. 

Windows and Door Frames—See drawing below. Also 
use metal device to prevent spreading of the wood frame 
from the wall. It is also well to use calking compound 


between wood frames and masonry.

Hollow: Building Tile with Stucco Exterior 


The Product 


Hollow Building Tile is the youngest and 
fastest growing member of the family of 
burnt clay products used as a basic building 
material. It is manufactured generally by 
the high standards set by the Bureau of 
Standards of the U. 8. Government in ¢o- 
operation with the Hollow Building Tile 
Association and its members. 


For Moderate Cost Homes 


The inherent values of Hollow Tile Con- 
struction make it the ideal material for the 
building of homes costing as low as $2,500.00 
and for the price range from $2,500.00 to 
$15,000.00. In higher cost homes ranging 
from $15,000.00 to $100,000.00 or more Hol- 
low Tile is an acknowledged leader and the 
same desirable qualities apply equally to 
moderate cost or high cost residences. 


Permanence 


Hollow Tile construction is age defying, 
age enduring, permanent. The Hollow Tile 
walls will not sag, warp, crack, decay or dis-

integrate in any way. Their load-bearing 
capacity is more than ten times that required 
in a residence. Homes of Hollow Tile will 
provide comfort, safety and satisfaction for 
generation after generation. The invest- 
ment and resale value is sustained for long 
periods of time. 


Maintenance 


Upkeep is reduced to a minimum for there are no 
repairs and painting is for trim only. The air spaces 
sealed up in the Hollow Tile walls provide supericr 
insulation against the penetration of heat, cold or 
moisture. Heating costs are the lowest, for Hollow 
Tile homes are warmer in winter as well as cooler 
in summer. Additions and enlargements are made 
with the minimum of time, difficulty and expense. 
It is the most economical type of home to build or to 
own. 


Safety 


Owners of Hollow Tile homes have assurance of 
exceptional protection against the ravages of the ele- 
ments for Hollow Tile homes staunchly withstand 
storm and shock. Protection against fire loss for the 
Hollow Tile walls cannot burn. In addition home 
owners have the satisfaction of knowing that unusual 
healthful, sanitary conditions are constantly main- 
tained. 


Beauty 


Charm and distinction are not sacrificed as the 
sturdy, permanent Hollow Tile construction adds to 
the beauty of line and design created by architectural 
genius. The material is so simple and flexible in use 
that it aids in the expression of individuality. The 
exterior may be Face Tile with its broad color range, 
face brick or stueco, according to architectural design 
or individual preference.

Building Contractors 

The live, aggressive, prosperous building 
contractor knows that owner satisfaction is 
one of the greatest assets in his business. No 
other method of. home building produces 
ereater owner satisfaction than is directly 
traceable to Hollow Tile Construction. 


Amazing Economies 

Greater than the remarkable economy to 
the home owner in maintained values and 
low upkeep, is the economies present in 
actual construction. The large units of 
Hollow Tile save in labor cost—in quantity 
of mortar—for one tile unit takes the place 
of six to fourteen brick according to size of 
unit. That means not only approximately 
50% saving in labor and material but a far 
greater saving in speeding up construction, 
less interest charges, less overhead, and 
quicker turnover. It means also increased 
volume of business with the same capital 
investment. 


Greater Values 


Every day the home investor is demand- 
ing more and more for his money. Hollow 
Tile, the most economical form of perma- 
nent construction, gives the actual values 
demanded and the first cost is often less than 
for common, perishable, inflammable con- 
struction. That a Hollow Tile home has 
greater market value has been demonstrated 
time after time in all sections of the nation. 


Ease of Construction 

Hollow Tile is so easy and simple to lay that the 
inexperienced quickly become expert. The Manual 
for Builders and Masons is sent postpaid on request.

With this valuable book as a guide any character of 
Hollow Tile construction can be undertaken.

tions and other uses in addition to residential con- 
struction. Thousands of private garages are econom- 
ically built of Hollow Tile. It is available for Pub- 
lic Garages, Office and Store Buildings, Schools, 
Churches, Theatres, Hotels and other public build- 
ings, also Industrial Buildings of every type.

Where a Brick Exterior Is Desired 


Natco Double Shell Header Backer Tile is recognized by archi- 
tects and builders as the ideal backing for brick, stone or other 
material. There are two units used—Natco Backer Tile and Natco 
Header Tile. The Natco Backer Tile is cut to convenient lengths 
to allow the brick work or other facing to be bonded into the Natco 
Header Tile with full header bond at any number of courses 
desired. The completed walls are light, thoroughly bonded, and 
at the same time are warmer and dryer than solid masonry walls, 
which rarely become thoroughly dry. 


Double Shell Tex-Tile and Natco Unglazed 
Double Shell Combed Face Tile are especi- 
ally suitable.

Home Satisfaction In Concrete Masonry 


Since time began, home owning and building have marched 
side by side with man’s upward progress. Always the 
tendency has been toward better, more permanent, more 
beautiful homes. 


It is only natural therefore to find that masonry has 
usually been the preferred building material. In our own 
civilization masonry houses have always represented the 
“best in home construction. Today the trend is noticeably 
to permanent homes; permanence as expressed through the 
use of masonry. 


Of all the varied forms of masonry construction, con- 
crete has enjoyed the most phenomenal popularity. Con. 
crete block, tile and brick homes today are attracting the 
best thought and building skill of the land. The result isa 
type of house typically American, more permanent, more 
beautiful, more satisfying than even the masonry Construc- 
tion of older nations. 


Your home, the house you build, must today measure 
up to new standards of excellence. If it is to express 
the best thought in home construction, it must be com- 
fortable, beautiful and convenient. 


How intimate to the new thought in home building is 
concrete masonry is readily demonstrated by the fact that 
the most pretentious homes and homes the man of only 
moderate circumstances alike are being built of this mate-

The Economy of Concrete Masonry 


It is a well known maxim that if a man ean afford a 
home at all, he can best afford a home which is permanent. 
Even for the builder with only a limited amount of money 
to spend the permanent house will be most economical in 
the long run. Such a type of construction is concrete ma- 
sonry. 

The first cost of the concrete masonry house is little, if 
any, higher than the cost of a house built of less enduring 
materials. Every builder knows that first cost is not the last 
eost of the house. Concrete masonry represents true econ- 
omy since it combines low first cost and the practical elimi- 
nation of upkeep expense. 


Concrete Masonry Is Adaptable 


The spread of the concrete masonry house has known no 
limitations of climate or locality. Entire communities have 
been built of concrete masonry in the northernmost tier of 
states where winters are prolonged and changes of tempera- 
ture are rapid; the most severe test of a building material. 

Equally noteworthy is the wide adoption of concrete ma- 
sonry to the climate of the southern states where tempera- 
tures go high and where drying winds and torrential rains 
exact their toll on materials. It is interesting to note that 
concrete masonry and portland cement stucco is the accepted 
building material in Florida. And so it is in California. 


The Advantages of Concrete Masonry 


Concrete masonry, whether it be concrete block or tile 
has brought a new type of wall construction into being. 
That type is the wall having air spaces incorporated within 


it. The advantage of this type of construction lies in the Concrete Block with rough texture surfaces provide a backing ie 
fact that the dead air space within the wall insulates the paich Boe ee Cope eo a couecueaes anaenres at pene

wall to passage of heat and cold. The concrete masonry 
house is cool in summer; warm and easily heated in winter. 

The preference for this type of construction has brought 
forth many types of walls, but in concrete masonry these 
air spaces are a part of each unit. When the unit is laid 
up in the wall the air space is formed with the laying of 
the block or tile. 

Many builders of concrete masonry do not furr the in- 
terior walls as the insulating air space prevents passage 
of moisture. This effects further building economy. 


Strength Is Important 
To withstand the effects of time and the elements the 
materials going into the walls of a house must possess 
strength. In concrete masonry construction this strength 
is inherent in the material. Concrete masonry walls do not 
depend upon bracing of construction features for strength 
for once laid the wall becomes practically monolithic, that 

is possessed of the strength of a solid wall. 


Nothing Left to Chance 
Those construction features which spell the difference be- 
tween excellent and passable building are not left to ehance 
when you build with concrete masonry. Construction detail 
are already provided for with the adoption of this material. 
For example joist block are special units. Provision is ~ 
made in these blocks for placing the joists and there is no 
chance for joist movement or mediocre construction which 
deteriorates with time.

Concrete Masonry Is Firesafe 


More and more attention is being given today to the 
matter of fire safety. Building codes are compelling it, good 
construction is demanding it. The fire safety of concrete 
masonry is well known. Hundreds of tests and actual 
fires have shown that this material possesses a very high 
degree of protection. Occupants of the concrete masonry 
house know that their home is as fire resistive as it is 
possible to build. And they do not pay more for this added 
security, in fact they pay less, for their insurance rates 
are lowered. 


Low Depreciation Is Important 


Most distressing to the home owner is the knowledge 
that his house is depreciating. The fall of a step, the 
decadence of the exterior, the general loosening of the 
frame and the interior walls and fixtures bring to mind 
the fact that the house is growing old. 

To build against this is the aim of every owner. With 
the use of concrete masonry, whether block, brick or tile 
depreciation is eliminated for this type of house never grows 
old. Years of usage, years of action by the elements, only 
serve to mellow and make the concrete house stronger, 
for this material is permanent. 

This permanence makes the resale value of the house 
high. Permanence insures that the house will never pre- 
sent the run-down at the heel appearance so detrimental to a 
sale. And high resale value makes home satisfaction more 
assured. 


Stucco Adds to the Beauty of Concrete Masonry 


Side by side with the growing use of concrete masonry 
has marched the advance of portland cement stucco. With 
this material which forms itself as a part of the masonry 
wall, the individual owner can express his own personality 
through the use of one of the many varied textures or

colors. There are no limitations to the variety of texture or 
color other than the dictates of the architect and the owner. 

Whatever the type or style of house built there is a tex- 
ture and color which will enhance that beauty in line and 
design. Stucco is a new art, it is typically American in 
its adaptations and its beauties. Combining portland ce- 
ment stucco with concrete masonry insures a house which 
is out of the ordinary in appearance, permanent, fire safe, 
and always beautiful. 


Concrete Throughout 


For the builder who seeks the ultimate in home construc- 
tion the all-concrete house provides the maximum of com- 
fort, permanence and safety. Concrete floors are noiseless, 
everlasting, and are adaptable to nearly any sort of decora- 
tive treatment. They can be covered with hard wood just as 
an ordinary type of floor. 

Conerete tile roofs are beautiful, permanent, and aside 
from breakage through some exterior blow will last for 
ever. Their color is manufactured in and never fades. 
They are proof against the weather, safe from fire and 
economical. 


Essentially Modern 


The concrete masonry house is essentially modern. For 
congested urban districts it provides fire safety, beauty com- 
parable with the very highest building practices, economy 
and resale value. 

For the builder in less closely settled areas the con- 
crete masonry house provides safety against fire, is adapt- 
able to all locations or settings, cool and warm and per- 
manent. 

Combined with portland cement stucco the concrete ma- 
sonry house whether block, brick or tile represents a type 
of house especially adopted to American standards of living 
and expressing the best in home building thought.

The manufacture, use and sale of 
Straub “Cincrete’ Cinder Concrete 
Building Units is lcensed under the 
Francis J. Straub U. 8S. Patents 
1,212,840 and 1,399,325 on Process and 
Products. Other patents pending. 
Patent No. 1,212,840 has been broadly sustained by 
unanimous decision of U. 8. Court of Appeals. Respon- 
sible parties will be licensed in open territories. 
Advantages 

Costs—These will vary according to local conditions, 
dimensions of common brick, and 5 to 15% compared 
but normally a saving in finished wall construction can 
be figured from 25 to 40% compared to same wall 
with clay tile. One 8x8x16-in. block displaces 12 bricks 
and requires about one-quarter the mortar. Plastering 


direct is recoramended. Other economies will be dis- : 


covered under other subheadings. 

Strength—Our licenses are required to manufac- 
ture blocks having an average crushing strength of 800 
Ibs. per sq. in. gross area, which is equivalent to approxi- 
mately 1,200 lbs. per sq. net area. The ratio of unit 
strength to wall strength of Cincrete blocks is from 57 to 
76%. This is the highest of any known 
masonry and in consequence carries a cor- 
responding safety factor.

channeled for pipe and conduits 
without fracture. 


Chased and 

Breakage—Breakage is negligible 
and dumping from trucks is practiced 
by some plants. 


Fireproof—The official tests, made for the National 
Board of Fire Underwriters’ Laboratories, confirm the 
many private tests and results of actual fires. We 
claim there is no masonry material possessing equal 
fire resisting and fire retardant properties. There is 
no cracking or spalling under the most violent changes 
of temperature as when water is turned on to a white 
hot wall. See page 20 Underwriters’ Laboratories re- 
port, Conwell Laboratory report on Reading fire test 
and other data, for comparison with various types of 
masonry. Cincrete units always re-usable after a 
fire. Their loss of strength is negligible. They have 
the lowest rate of heat conductivity of any 
masonry, 


Dampproof—The illustration below shows the 
slight absorption and lack of capillarity after 48 hours’ 
immersion. This unique quality is also of 
importance in producing a stronger mortar 
joint, the moisture is not drawn out of the 
mortar as with brick or sand _ blocks. 
For the same reason, stucco and 
plaster retain full strength on Cin- 
crete units and require no application 
of water before mortar, plaster and 
‘ stucco is applhed. The initial suction 
or absorption is rapid, but after a short 
time ceases. This favorably affects win- 
ter laying of Cincrete units.

“‘Cincrete’’ Cinder Concrete Building Units (Continued) 


Non-conductor of Heat and Cold—Cincrete unit walls 
never “sweat”; are rotproof and verminproof; no mold 
forms, and decorations are never injured where plaster 
has been applied direct to exterior walls in the severest 
climate. Less fuel required to heat; cooler in sum- 
mer. Ideal for icehouses, large refrigerators, refrigera- 
tion plants, heating ovens, dry kilns, etc. 

Stucco—the rough texture affords a perfect key for 
plaster and stucco. The same coefficient of expan- 
sion in base and stucco explains why stucco does not 
erack and spall on Cincrete units. Ideal suction and 
mechanical bond. 


No Through Mortar Joints—A common fault of 
other types of masonry is the through mortar joint, 
which readily conducts moisture, heat and cold through 
the wall. The cinder unit itself is a non-conductor, 
not depending on the large air spaces as do other forms 
of hollow masonry. 


No Furring Required—Having the lowest  capil- 
larity and conductivity of any masonry, furring and 
lathing are not required. Stucco and plaster are applied 
direct; one-third less plaster required on account of 
omission of scratch coat and more uniform surface. 


Weight of Wall—A cubic foot of completed wall 
weighs less than any known masonry of equal strength. 


Weight—Forty per cent lighter than standard hol- 
low cement blocks; 60% lighter than brick, and 5 to 
10% lighter than hollow clay tile. 

Rapid Laying—Light weight, ‘uniformity, convenient 
and small buttering surfaces compared to solid units, 
contribute to easy, rapid and economical wall erection. 
Buttering surfaces larger than clay tile, therefore, 
stronger and more substantial ; less waste of mortar and 
time in laying. 

_ Nailing—As good as wood for nailing; holding power is 
equal to yellow pine. Nails never rust. See Pittsburgh 
Testing Laboratory report No. 48544. Wood grounds and 
trim can be thoroughly secured by toenailing. Pipe hangers 


and other supporting members can be readily secured by 
means of lag screws, expansion bolts, ete. 


MODEL HOUSE of the DETROIT NEWS 


The exterior walls, constructed entirely of 
Cincrete Units from foundation to roof cost only 
5% more than frame construction. 400 dupli- 
cates of this Model House have been built! 

The house shown above was designed by a 
committee of Detroit architects appointed by 
the Michigan Chapter of the American Institute 
of Architects. 

It was erected under the auspices of the 
Detroit News, as the central factor in their 
“Better Homes Campaign,” organized by Major 
Charles D. Kelley, of the News’ Homebuilding 
Department. 

The successful bidder for the construction 
of the model house was required to erect at 
least twenty replicas for private ownership, 
should that many be required, at the same price 
as the original. 

Instead of the twenty houses hoped for, the 
Model House inspired orders for nearly four 
hundred houses from the public. 

The half timbering and interior trim are 
nailed directly to the Cincrete Block Walls, sav- 
ing considerably in cost of construction. The 
exterior walls, constructed entirely of Cincrete 
Blocks from foundation to roof, cost only 5% 
more than if built of frame. 

This house is now the residence of Bert Thomas, creator 
of “Mr. Straphanger” and cartoonist of the Detroit News. 

Cutting—Cincrete units can be cut to size, chased and 
channeled for pipe and conduits without fracture. 

Corners—Details on this and previous page show several 
methods, all retaining full insulating value. 

Steel Sash Installation—Grooves are moulded into jamb 
blocks to admit steel window frames. Two lintels to an 
opening provide this advantage without cutting or chan- 
neling. 

Lintels—Reinforced lintels of cinder concrete proviae all 
the advantages of strength, lightness, nail-ability and damp- 
proofness. For standard sizes see Drawing No. 1. Specials 
on order. 

Sills—Precast cinder concrete sills have the advantages 
of lightness, toughness and dampproofness. For standard 
section see Drawing No. 1. Specials on order. 

Details, Catalogues and Data—Each plant is in position 
to submit details and give required information to architect 
or engineer. Address the nearest plant or New York office.

Eliminating Dwelling Fires 

96% of all dwelling fires 
originate on the interior. More 
than 90% of these are traceable to the heating plant 
or wiring in the basement. One home burns for every 
four built in this country. Berloy Metal Lumber in 
the first floor construction of dwellings eliminates all 
possibility of loss from fire originating. in the basement. 


Easily Erected © 


In simplicity of design and ease of erection, Metal 
Lumber rivals wood. ‘The construction consists of 
pressed steel joists and studs used as load carrying 
members, installed in conjunction with cement, con- 
crete and plaster. A light 2 inch concrete fill used over 
the joists and between nailing strips makes a fire-proof 
floor without excess weight or waste of space. A %” 
plaster ceiling may be applied on Berloy Metal Lath 
attached directly to the bottoms of the joists by prongs 
on the joists provided for this purpose. Metal Lumber 
is light and easily handled, involving no high labor costs. 


Erecting Procedure 


Metal Lumber joists are easily handled by two men. 
No contractor will have the slightest difficulty with the 
construction. 

The eight simple operations are as follows: 


1. Installing light weight, easily handled joists at from 16 
to 24 inches on centers, supported by wall or beam 
bearings. 

2. Lacing and nailing 1 inch 20 gauge galvanized steel 
bridging to hold joists in position. (See picture below). 

3. Nailing sheets of metal lath to tops of joists. 

4. Nailing 2”x2” wood nailing strips to the tops of the joists. 

5. Pouring a 2 inch concrete fill between sleepers. 

6. Installing the floor finish. 


Applying sheets of Berloy Ribplex to Metal Lumber floor 
joists. No form work is necessary for concrete floor. Note 
bridging which holds joists in position.

Berloy Metal 
Lumber Joist 


For light, strong, 
fire-proof floor construc- 
tion in homes _ where 
fire-risk is to be elimi- 
nated. 


7. Securing the ceiling lath to the bottom of the joists by 
means of prongs. 


8. Plastering the ceiling on the metal lath base. 

No form work is required with Metal Lumber and 
Metal Lath. No special equipment is needed for 
handling. 

The resulting floor and ceiling are fire-proof, sound- 
proof, crack-proof and permanent, and the cost is very 
reasonable. 


No Difficulties for the Contractor 


The erection of Berloy Metal Lumber involves no 
problem for the contractor. Every piece comes cut to 
fit and plainly marked to correspond with the working 
drawings. It is merely necessary to place the joists, a 
quick and easy operation, and proceed with the work. — 


For Partitions 


H-studs or channel studs of various gauges and 
shapes are furnished for practically any carrying parti- 
tion requirement. 

For non-supporting partitions, a fire-proof, sound- 
proof partition only 2 inches thick can be made by 
applying Berloy Metal Lath to Berloy Cold-Rolled 
Channels. A great saving in space is thus effected at 
no sacrifice in strength. 

Metal Lumber studs are supported and held in place 
top at bottom by channel track to which they are 
secured.

which _wood finish will be applied. Thesa pictures give a 
geod dee of the simplicity of Metal Lumber Floor Con- 
struction.

Application of Metal Lumber and Metal Lath to Floors and 
Partitions. 


Specification for Metal Lumber Construction 

Thickness of steel used in joists and studs in sup- 
porting partitions, shall in no case be less than .072 
inches and the lath not less than No. 28 U. 8. Standard 
Gauge. 

All pressed steel furnished for floors and supporting 
partitions must be accompanied by erection drawings 
showing the location, size and character of the members 
to be used. 

All Metal Lumber pressed steel sections to be hand 
dipped in a special rust-resisting paint after forming 
and before shipment. All expanded metal lath to be 
given one coat of hand dipped paint. 


Floors 


Floors to be constructed of size and thickness of 
pressed steel I-joists as shown on drawings, spaced as 
indicated, and bridged laterally every one-third length 
of span with 1-inch No. 20 gauge galvanized bridging. 
This bridging to be secured by 3d nails driven into the 
webs of the joists. On top of the joists, after bridging 
has been applied, attach Berloy Ribplex or Berloy 
Diamond Mesh Metal Lath, securing it by large head 
nails driven into web of joists. Ceiling lath to be 
applied to the bottom flange by means of prongs pro- 
vided for the purposes, or wired through holes punched 
in the flanges of the joists. Directly on top of the 
joists and parallel thereto apply 134x134 inch wood 
nailing strips, attaching them to joists by nailing. 


Concrete 


Top layer of lath to be covered with 134 inches of 
concrete, consisting of 1 part Portland cement, 214 
parts sand and 5 parts broken stone, slag or clean 
gravel—the maximum size of which will pass through 
a 34 inch ring. This concrete to be applied compara- 
tively dry and directly on top of the lath, without 
forms, being floated to an even surface.

For Use With Metal Lumber 


The use of metal lath is essential with metal lumber 
construction, to obtain in full measure the fire-safety, 
economy and low dead-load of this construction. 

The various types of Berloy Metal Lath have been 
designed specifically to meet all requirements of load 
and joist spacing where Berloy Metal Lumber is used. 

The application of the lath is a rapid and easy pro- 
cess. The stiffness of Ribplex sheets eliminates sagging 
when the concrete is placed, and does away with the 
necessity for form work of any kind, providing all the 
centering necessary without additional support. 


Berloy %% inch Ribplex 


Designed for use where Metal Lumber joists are spaced 
from 19” to 24”. The ribs are 84 inches high, spaced 8 
inches on centers. The ribs give great stiffness to the sheets. 
34 inch Ribplex meets all ordinary requirements for floor 
and partition construction. 


Berloy 34 inch Ribplex 


A heavy, stiff lath of great strength for use with ex- 
ceptionally wide spacing of Metal Lumber joists. It is also 
used in one method of solid partition construction and for 
other purposes where great strength is required. 


Berloy Diamond Mesh Metal Lath 


Can be used satisfactorily where Metal Lumber joists 
are spaced from 12 to 16 inches on centers, but its principal 
function is in ceiling construction, whether the ceiling is 
applied on pencil rods attached to the joists or suspended 
on Berloy Cold Rolled Channels.. Diamond Mesh Lath is 
easily formed and bent, and works out to excellent advant- 
age in covering beams and other projections, below the 
ceiling level.

Architex Finish (Stucco) 


Flint-Rock’s Architex Finish, best physically and 
architecturally, satisfies the demand for color planning 
of stucco in home construction. It has been created 
because of the influx of Italian and Spanish architec- 
tural design. It enables every architect and home 


builder to fulfill his own individual taste. 


ARCHITEX is a stucco finish coat in many beau- 
tiful shades of color. It is accurately proportioned, 
factory mixed and carefully tested. It will not crack, 
craze, fade, discolor or mottle. It is waterproof. 


ARCHITEX is readily worked in any desirable finish 
or texture. 


Reeommended Use—The recommended construction 
for a new home lis: 
First, KEYLOCK stucco base applied direct to studding 


or over sheathing. 
Second, FLINT-ROCK magnesite stucco in two coats 14 in. 
thick. 
Third, ARCHITEX FINISH in texture desired. 
ARCHITEX can be used successfully over other types 
of backing, brick, tile, block, etc. It is especially recom- 
mended as a color coat over old brick or stucco which 
has become dirty and weather beaten. 


How to Apply Architex— 

(1) Do not apply ARCHITEX when temperature is 
below 32° or above 95° F. Work on shady side of 
house as much as possible. 

(2) Clean mortar box, tools, ete., carefully. 

(3) Mix each 100 lbs. of ARCHITEX with 11 to 12 
qts. of water. Allow mortar to approach initial 
set or to toughen. Time will vary with temper- 
ature. 

(4) Wet down brown coat with mortar. 

(5) Trowel on ARCHITEX not over 3/16 in. thick. 
As it sets, float with addition of a little water, 
using wooden float. This prevents cracks caused 
by premature drying while setting. 

(6) If other than float is desired, such as stipple, 
sponge, etc., go over the surface after floating and 
use enough material to obtain the desired texture. 

(7) Splatter dashing with willows can be done directly 
to brown coat. In this case, mix ARCHITEX 
to a creamy consistency varying according to 
roughness of effect desired. 

(8) In hot weather ARCHITEX should be sprayed 
lightly for several days after application.

Flint-Rock All-Mineral Stucco 

FLINT-ROCK stucco is an all-mineral oxy- 
chloride cement of remarkable strength and dur- 
ability. It is flexible and resilient, water and 
fire resistant, and an excellent non-conductor of 
heat. It creates an absolutely tight joint against 
g, etc. A FLINT-ROCK home 
minimizes cost of construction, heating and mainte- 
nance. 


the frames, trim, copin 


Its formula being confined to only the very best ma- 
terials of all-mineral nature, FLIN'T-ROCK is noted 
for its durability. Crushed granite, very hard, gritty 
and tenacious, is exclusively used as the filler in the 
first coat of FLINT-ROCK. 


Its Use—FLINT-ROCK is always applied in two 
coats 14 in. thick. When it is used as a base for 
ARCHITEX, the second coat is roughed or broomed 
to give a better bonding surface. It is then allowed 
to weather about 2 weeks before ARCHITEX is applied. 


FLINT-ROCK granite dashes, all crushed at our 
Ingomar plant, offer a wide range of very beautiful 
dashed finishes. Our granite deposit and- crushing 
facilities insure uniform color and size of our dashes 
at all times. 


Applications of Flint-Rock—Complete instructions 
and specifications for preparation, mixing and applica- 
tion will be furnished immediately on request. 


. FLINT-ROCK is packed in heavy, waterproofed, 
100-lb. bags. Sufficient magnesium chloride to mix is 
furnished with each order. Its application is simple 
and we will be glad to co-operate in drafting specific 
specifications or instructions for application. 


Granite Boulders, Dashes and Aggregates 


We operate a large glacier granite boulder deposit. 
Granites of every color imaginable are found here. These 
are crushed in a wide range for stucco dashes, and, 
being free from lime, very hard and lustrous in color, 
are especially suited for this purpose. 


Aggregates are used extensively for facing blocks and 
cement products, for exposed surfacing of walks and 
drives and as integral aggregates in concrete construc- 
tion when subjected to heavy usage. 


Granite boulders, when laid in walls, give excellent 
strength of construction. Such homes are very beau- 
tiful and distinctive, and the demand for these boulders 
is steadily increasing.

MANUFACTURERS OF KRAGSTONE STUCCO, VELVETILE FLOORING 


FACTORIES AT CHICAGO, ILL.—FLUSHING, N. Y.—OMAHA, NEB. 


Theodore Roosevelt Apartments, 171st and Grand Concourse, New York City. 


Products 


The products of this company are KRAGSTONE, a mag- 
nesite stucco for exterior finish; and VELVETILHE, a mag- 
nesite composition flooring, both of which have been very 
widely used for residences, stores and offices, apartment 
buildings, and institutions such as hospitals, ete. Descrip- 
tive literature on use and application will be gladly 
furnished to building contractors on request. 


Kragstone—The Stucco Beautiful 


Kragstone exterior stucco is a compound of various 
minerals, such as pure -white sand, silica, long fibre 
asbestos and pure calcined magnesite. The formulas upon 
which KRAGSTONE has been manufactured for the last 
15 years have been developed in our own laboratory and 
are the culmination of years of experimentation. Every 
lot of material purchased is tested by our own chemist to 
maintain these high standards. No lime, gypsum or 
Portland Cement is used in KRAGSTONE. 


Characteristics of Kragstone 


The outstanding characteristics of Kragstone are its 
extraordinary strength, elasticity and adhesiveness. When 
applied % inch thick over wood lath, metal lath, brick, tile 
or other stucco base, it hardens into a very dense, durable 
as well as a very beautiful finish. When correctly applied 
it will not check or crack, bonding so closely to the 
material over which it is applied that it becomes an 
integral part of the stucco base itself. 


Advantages Derived from Its Use 


Among the advantages that result from the use of 
KRAGSTONE in building construction, are lower cost than 
any other type of construction except frame, and it com- 
pares very favorably even with this. The up-keep of a 
frame building, painting and repairs, more than offsets the 
small additional cost for stucco. A KRAGSTONE home is 
also much warmer in winter and cooler in summer, owing 
to the high insulating qualities of the material and is also 
a protection against fire, effecting a saving in insurance 
rates. KRAGSTONE being a plaster practically seals all 
cracks in a building and being water and frost-proof, 
provides the qualities most desired in modern construction. 
It can be applied at any time of the year in any climate, 


but with magnesium chloride, which is a non-freezing and 
fire-resisting chemical solution. This provides an all-year- 
round building season for the contractor and offers great 
possibilities for remodeling old buildings, as well as new 
construction. Practically any finish may be secured from 
the fancy trowel and float effect to the various dash 
combinations, using colored stone in solid or mixed colors. 
These dashes are thrown into the plastic stucco, which 
upon setting holds them securely offering a very pleasing 
effect. 


A Better Stucco 


KRAGSTONE has been specified in many large building 
projects, among which is the Theodore Roosevelt Apart- 
ments, New York City, the largest building in the world 
of stucco. KRAGSTONE was specified only after exacting 
competitive tests with all leading brands. 


Covering Capacity 


The covering capacity of KRAGSTONE Stucco will vary 
according to the material over which it is applied. Over 
wood lath spaced 4% inch, one ton of KRAGSTONE applied 
in two coats, each one % inch thick, (the proper thickness), 
will cover. approximately 65 square yards. Over metal lath 
50 to 60 square yards; over brick or hollow tile 75 square 
yards per ton. Stone dashes cover approximately 200 
square yards per ton. All materials are sold by the ton, 
shipped in 100-pound bags and can be readily mixed on 
the job. 


The Instruction Book 


Our instruction book covering the mixing and application 
of KRAGSTONE will be gladly mailed to any building 
contractor or dealer upon request. It contains some in- 
teresting subjects concerning good stucco construction. 


Velvetile Flooring 


VELVETILE composition flooring, also a magnesite 
product, manufactured under the same high standards as 
KRAGSTONE, offers some very interesting possibilities as 
a floor for restaurants, schools, various public institutions, 
also bathrooms kitchen floors and residences. It is a very 
hard, dense material, resisting wear and abrasion, where 
no other flooring would stand up. This is manufactured 
in several colors, with which some very interesting com- 
binations can be secured. Complete instructions for laying 
this material will be gladly furnished upon request.

TRADE MARK 


This house was jacked up, moved more than a mile, and lowered on to its 
new foundations without a single crack appearing on its Asbestone 
Stucco surface. Convincing evidence of the fact that Asbestone is an 
ELASTIC stucco, that will not crack even when subjected to unusual strains. 


Asbestone Everlasting Stucco 

This is a superior grade of Magnesia Stucco containing no 
lime, Portland cement or gypsum. It is characterized by great 
strength, durability, adhesiveness and elasticity. Will not expand 
or contract and is impervious to weather changes. Its unusual 
resiliency enables it to withstand settling strains without damage 
to a far greater degree than any other materials used in the 
manufacture of Stucco, or plaster. 


Fireproof and Insulating Qualities 


Asbestone being a compound of Magnesia and Asbestos is fire- 
proof and possesses a high degree of insulating qualities—making 
the house stuccoed with Asbestone easy to heat in winter and 
cocl in summer. It can be successfully used over frame, brick, 
hollow tile or any other kind of stucco base, and being non-freez- 
ing can be applied in winter as well as in summer. 


Beautiful in Appearance 

In its natural finish Asbestone produces a wall of a soft, 
creamy white. It can, however, be colored if desired, and many 
beautiful effects of texture and tone can be produced by the use 
of the trowel or sponge on its plastic surface, or by using one 
or more of our colored dashes, of stone, marble, granite, ete. 


How Shipped 


Asbestone is shipped in bags, in dry powder form, with the 
mixing compound in flakes in iron containers. The addition of 
water is all that is necessary to make it ready for use. This 
method of shipping the mixing compound in flake form instead 
of as a liquid results in considerable saving in freight charges. 


Full Particulars on Request 


You naturally wish to be familiar with the best types of ma- 
terials used in building construction. Let us-send you some in- 
teresting and helpful printed matter we have prepared giving

All Mineral 


Pyramid Stucco is an all mineral stucco containing no 
cork or sawdust. Packed and shipped in 100 pound bags. 


Special Features 


Pyramid Stucco is a finely graded magnesite stucco con- 
taining a large percentage of Magnesite, mixed with Silica 
and carefully selected, Asbestos fibre. It has remarkable 
tensile strength, and wonderful elasticity. It is very 
adhesive. 


It can be applied over good grade of wood, metal or patent 
lath, brick, hollow tile or concrete. It fills every crevice, 
joins snugly and does not pull 
away around window frames 
or door casings. 


Pyramid Stucco sets quickly 
and thoroughly—hard and 
dense—and can be used in 
zero weather without freezing. 


It is maufactured by pioneer 
producers in a modern fac- 
tory especially designed and 
equipped for scientific stucco 
manufacture. 


Advantages 


Pyramid Stucco is easier to apply and spreads easily over 
a large surface. 


It withstands expansion and contraction and will not 
erack or check when applied to good construction. Strains 
that cause ordinary stucco to crack do not develop a hair 
line in Pyramid Stucco. 300% to 400% stronger. Makes 
an enduring, beautiful exterior finish that does not discolor 
in damp weather. 


Always insures a successful job and costs no more than 
other Stucco. 


Permanently-Colored Dashes 


We sell, in 100 pound bags, the following all natural color 
dashes, which will retain their natural colors permanently: 
Pyramid Green; Carthage Gray; White Quartz; White 
Quartz (small size); Pink Quartz; Red Granite; Ohio Peb- 
ble; Pearl Shell; Green Marble; Buff Marble (small size); 
Mica Spar; Jet Black; Black and White Speckled; Brown 
Granite; Light Green; Rainbow Glass; Polished Shell. Many 
beautiful combinations can be worked out from the above 
colors. One ton of Dash will cover 200 to 225 yards depend- 
ing upon the size of Dash used. 


Unusual and Lasting Beauty 

The remarkable beauty of Pyramid Stucco is due to its 
clean cut, permanently white appearance. This white back- 
ground affords an attractive surface for the imbedding of

Pyramid Period Finish 


Pyramid Period Finish is 
used when a dashed surfacing 
is not desired. Pyramid Period 
Finish can be obtained in a 
variety of colors, and may be 
stippled, floated or troweled to 
represent any of the different 
periods of architecture, with- 
out any discoloration or un- 
evenness of color. 

Pyramid Period Finish is 
applied in three coats, each 
one quarter (%4) inch in thick- 
ness. The two base coats, are of magnesite composition, 
and the third coat is of portland composition. A mechanical 
bond is obtained between the second and third coat by 
brooming or roughing the second coat, and allowing it to 
set for two days before applying the third coat. 


Easy to Apply 


Pyramid Stucco is easy to apply as it is very plastic 
and buttery. It spreads easily over a wide surface and 
bonds perfectly. A mechanic and laborer under ordinary 
conditions, can apply from 50 to 60 yards of scratch, finish 
and dash per day. 


Insulates, Weather & Fire Proofs 


Pyramid Stucco is a perfect insulator. Keeps the house 
warmer in winter and cooler in summer. 


It waterproofs the wall to which it is applied. Through 
a special process known as “supergrading” Pyramid Stucco 
is made permanently impervious to any detrimental effects 
from rain, snow or other moisture. No harmful or tem- 
porarily effective chemicals are used to obtain these water- 
proofing qualities that have been so heartily endorsed by 
stucco specialists throughout the country.

Oriental Stucco: 


New Beauty and Permanence in Stucco: 
Oriental Stucco successfully meets the mod- 
ern demand for stucco that will harmonize 
in texture and color with the architectural 
style of the building upon which it is used. 
It is a scientifically compounded stucco fur- 
nished as Base and Finish coats, each ready 
mixed, waterproof, non-staining, plastic, 
easy to apply, and durable. 


Factory Mixed: Oriental Stucco Base Coat is 
mixed by machine at the mill with the correct pro- 
portion of sharp, graded sand and ingredients to 
make it waterproof and plastic. As this coat (as 
well as the Finish Coat) is ready for use with the 
addition of water, possibility of improper mixing or 
the use of poor sand is eliminated and uniform re- 
sults are assured on every job. 


Color and Texture: Oriental Stucco Finish 
Coat is made in white and nine standard colors 
and every job is, therefore, of a uniform shade 
regardless of the number of mixes required. 


Because of the remarkable plasticity of the Finish 
Coat, the ordinary mechanic with common tools can 
accurately reproduce English, Spanish, Colonial, and 
other period textures to correctly interpret and har- 
monize with the architectural style of the building.

Interpretation of English Texture in Oriental Stucco 


Company has prepared a Handbook which describes 
the characteristic features of several popular styles 
and illustrates ten stucco textures in colors, by em- 
bossed panels. A copy of the Oriental Stueco Hand- 
book will be sent free upon request,. 


Bases Upon Which Applied: Oriental Stucco 
may be applied over metal lath, wire lath, tile, 
brick, conerete, and over Gyp-Lap wall con- 
struction. It is also especially adaptable for 
overcoating old cement stucco walls, masonry 
surfaces, and the walls of frame buildings. 


Application of Base Coat: The Base Coat is ap- 
plied in the same fashion as Portland Cement stucco, 
in two coats. The first coat should be scratched and 
allowed to dry thoroughly and should then be fol- 
lowed with the brown coat, properly floated to 
straighten the work. The brown coat must be allowed 
to dry completely to permit shrinkage to take place 
and then wet down before applying the Oriental 
Stucco Finish Coat. 


Finish Coat ts Easily Textured: Oriental Stucco 
Finish Coat can be surfaced with ordinary tools to 
accurately reproduce any period texture. In addi- 
tion, it is adaptable to the entire range of stucco 
treatment known to architects and builders. It is 
equally easy to achieve in Oriental Stucco Finish, the 
smooth trowel, stipple, sand sprayed, rough cast, or 
spatterdash finishes, according to individual taste or 
requirements.

Better Plastering for the Home 


NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR BETTER PLASTERING 
Madison Square Building 


Nothing equals the beauty of 
good plastering. No other wall 
finish is so perfectly adapted to 
useful and decorative effects. 

Remember that plastering rep- 
resents 80% of the visible in- 
terior of the home and. prac- 
tically all of the finish in it. 
The initial cost of Better Plas- 
tering is so modest in compari- 
son with many other features 
that go to make the home, that 
you can’t afford to overlook con- 
sideration of a steel base—for 
no equal amount can so much 
protection from fire, freedom 
from repair, and permanent sat- 
isfaction be bought. 


Safety from Fire. 


An unburnable barrier is 
formed by plastering on its base 
of steel. So effectively does this 
protect the wood studs and joists 
from fire that the Underwriters’ 
Laboratories have officially given 
it a one-hour rating. This, to 
all intents and purposes, means 
complete protection from fire. 

Over 7,500 lives and $88,000,- 
000 are our annual loss from fire 
in dwellings. Most of these trag- 
edies are said to be due to in- 
terior defects. When walls and ceilings are Better 
Plastering on METAL Lath, the fire hazard has been 
reduced to the minimum. 


Every home should be a safe place to live in. There 
are parts of the home where cost is secondary to 
safety, yet the added cost for plastering on a steel 
base is very moderate. 


Minimum Cost for Upkeep. 


Repair and replacement of plastering and the cost 
involved are held to the minimum when steel is used 
for the plastering base. Dust streaks are absent, as 
are stains. 


Steel gives plastering the strength to resist vibra- 
tion, moisture and temperature changes without 
cracking. It will not shrink, swell, warp or burn.

Don’t blame the plasterer. ) 
staining caused by moisture, and streaking due to 
dust absorbed by ordinary plastering. 


The fire had its own way. 
to stop it. A steel plastering base holds the las- 
tering in place and protects lumber for one hour. 
Makes buildings fire-safe. 


Sound Absorbent and Sanitary 

Because it is thicker and 
denser than ordinary plaster, 
Better Plastering is more sound- 
proof. Quiet, of course, is desir- 
able in the home. Plastering on 
steel prevents the passage of 
vermin and rodents. There are 
no cracks for cockroaches to 
come through. A plastered sur- 
face permits effective disinfec- 
tion in the event of sickness in 
the home. 


Slight Difference in Cost 

Compare the slight difference 
in cost between Better Plaster- 
ing on METAL lath and ordin- 
ary plastering, with any other 
contract. Actually, this differ- 
ence is probably the smallest 
that will have to be considered. 
Yet the decision as to the plas- 
tering base is the most impor- 
tant one made by the home- 
owner. 

In a few years the slight 
added investment for Better 
Plastering on its steel base will 
have been repaid in freedom 
ee a from upkeep cost. 

There was nothing In apartment buildings the 
use of Better Plastering with 
METAL lath to reinforce and 
preserve, benefits the owner as well as those who make 
their homes there.

Product: 
Metal Lath and Accessories. 
Uses: 


As a plastering reinforcement and base 
for stucco. 


Kinds of Metal Lath: 


Individual types and forms of metal lath, 
corner beads, metal moulding, base board, 
base screeds, picture mouldings, and door 
and window trim will be found in the cata- 
logs of the various companies listed above. 

Metal lath is furnished painted or cut 
from galvanized sheets. Painted lath is 
suitable for all practical purposes; gypsum 
plaster should not be used in places subject 
to continuous moisture such as shower 
stalls, partitions resting on the ground— 
portland cement should be used. 


Function of Metal Lath: 


Metal lath acts as a base and reinforce- 
ment for interior plaster and braces the lum- 
ber frame of buildings, making them rigid. 
It is also widely used as a reinforcement for 
exterior stucco. It does not expand, con- 
tract, or warp nor does it permit dust 
streaks to appear on the wall, as with or- 
dinary lath. 


Uses of Metal Lath: 


Ordinary lumber construction — wood 
stud partitions and wood joisted floors, can 
be made erackproof and firesafe to a su- 
perior degree by using metal lath as the 
plastering reinforcement. It keeps the 
plaster in position long after it has been 
disintegrated by fire and would otherwise 
have fallen off and become useless as a 
protection. As a reinforcement for ex- 
terior stucco, it has the endorsement of 
stucco experts. 


and cracking. Inside corners, where wood 
lath, celotex or plasterboard are used, should 
also be reinforced by metal lath cornerite to 
prevent corner cracks at joining of parti- 
tions, walls, and ceilings. 


The use of steel window casings, door 
casings, and of steel for other interior trim 
eliminates much inflammable material, 
makes for more permanent construction 
and is much used in office and other public 
buildings of the better type. 


Small Cost of Using Metal Lath: 


Plastering on metal lath has decreased, 
relatively, in cost. It is frequently only 35 
to 50 cents per yard more than plastering 
on ordinary lath. For this reason discern- 
ing builders are recommending to their cus- 
tomers that they adopt it in their homes in 
a few of the places most vulnerable to fire 
or im prominent rooms only, when strict 
economy is essential. For $35.00, 100 yards 
of plaster on metal lath can be used in such 
parts of a home, adding a large measure of 
fire protection, preventing plaster cracks in 
prominent rooms, and adding to the resale 
value of the home. 


Literature Available: 


The Associated Metal Lath Manufac- 
turers have prepared complete specifica- 
tions and construction details for contrac- 
tors, builders and those intending to build, 
which will be sent free on request to any

Wheeling Manufacture Insures Straight Edges and Square Corners, 
Which Eliminate Waste 


Wheeling Metal Lath: 

A standard, expanded metal diamond mesh lath for 
all classes of work. All sheets have square corners 
and straight edges and are 28 inches wide. 


Easier and More Economical to Use: 

Builders prefer Wheeling Metal Lath because of 
the straight edges and square corners, which permit 
easy, quick handling. Moreover there is less waste in 
lapping. All sheets of standard lath being 28 inches 
wide permit saving of lath by use of fewer sheets. 


Quality and Construction: 

The base metal of all standard Lath consists of 
open hearth steel sheets of uniform high quality. 
By a special process these sheets are turned into lath 
without reheating. All of the original stiffness in 
each sheet remains in the finished lath, affording a 
perfectly flat support for plaster, cement or stucco. 

Wheeling Metal Lath can be furnished (1) made 
from open hearth steel sheets, painted black, (2) cut 
from galvanized (zinc-coated) sheets, or (3) Ohio 
Metal Copper-Bearing Steel, painted red. 


Wheeling Rid-Gid Metal Lath: 

A self-furring lath for stucco work. This lath 
in mesh and size is the same as Wheeling Standard 
Diamond Lath, except that it has formed ridges added 


There is no substitute for Sheet Steel.

which eliminate the need for furring strips, stiffen the 
sheet and add fully 30% greater strength, without 
extra weight. On interior plastering work the extra 
rigidity and stiffness permit much wider spacing of 
studding with resulting economy in time and material. 


Wheeling 34 in. Rib Lath: 


Where exceptional strength is needed this diamond mesh 
lath with its solid ribs, spaced 4.8 inches apart, provides 
maximum rigidity. On suspended ceilings and ceilings be- 
neath floors, Rib Lath, due to its rigidity, permits wider spac- 
ing of cross channels, with saving of material and labor. On 
partitions built with wood or metal studs, Rib Lath saves studs 
and erection cost. Absence of spring in Lath between studs 
permits uniform thickness of plaster at considerable economy.

Clinton Wire Lath 


Clinton Wire Lath has been the recog- 
nized standard of quality for over half a 
century and is the most efficient and trust- 
worthy lathing material in use at the present 
time. : 


The Clinton Wire Cloth Company (Wickwire 
Spencer Steel Company, successor) was the first 


concern to engage in the manufacture of fireproof 
lath. 


It was used for fireproofing purposes as early as 
1856, and many buildings are now standing which 
were fireproofed with this material at that time. 


Wire Versus Sheet Metal 


A drawn steel wire when compared with a sheet of 
metal is, in the matter of strength and general quality 
of material, a superior product. The wire, which 
is made by being drawn through a die, is, during its 
manufacture, subjected to a high tensile stress. This 
drawing and working of the material renders the wire 
a fibrous material of uniform quality and for this 
reason it is stronger and more reliable than sheet 
metal, which is necessarily of an inferior grade and 
which suffers more or less injury through the process 
of cold cutting and expansion. 


Perfect Key 


The primary function of any lathing material is to 
serve as a foundation to grip and hold mortar. “It is 
the key or the clinch of the backplaster which actu- 
ally determines the efficiency of the plastered surface. 


To obtain the best results it is not sufficient to have 


WICKWIRE SPENCER 


isolated portions of mortar here and 
there pushed through and turned on the 
reverse side of the lath, as with a great many 
types of metal lath. In order to insure sub- 
stantial and permanent construction, it is abso- 
lutely essential that the lath be actually em- 
bedded in the body of the plaster. Without a 
thorough covering of backplaster, air and moisture 
will in time attack the metal and slow but sure dis- 
integration will result. 


Because of the ease with which mortar will pass 
over and around the small circular strands of a wire 
mesh with no flat or inclined surfaces to deflect or 
obstruct its passages, Clinton lath enables plaster to 
form a more perfect key than can be obtained with 
any other type of lath. 


Quantity of Plaster 


This perfect key does not by any means indicate 
that wire lath will waste plaster. All metal which 
enters into the structural elements of a building must 
be protected against rust and corrosion. Jn the case 
of a metal lath it is this backplaster, this key, this rear 
side covering, which must be relied upon to offer the 
necessary protection to the lath. The claim made by 
some manufacturers that their lath saves mortar is in 
itself an admission of the fact that a thorough and 
satisfactory key is not obtained. Naturally, any type 
of lath which permits plaster to pass through and be 
turned here and there at isolated spots on the reverse 
side of the lath will use less plaster than one which 
permits the plaster to cover the metal thoroughly.

Clinton Wire Lath, with specifications and recommendations 
as to kind best adapted to various jobs.

KEYLOCK BASE for Stucco and Plaster 


Patented and Manufactured by 


THE FLINT ROCK STUCCO COMPANY, INC. 
DAYTON, OHIO 


Products 


KEYLOCK Interlocking base for stucco and plaster. 


FLINT-ROCK ALL-MINERAL STUCCO, ARCHI- 
TEX FINISH “Stueco, Granite Products,” see page 838. 


Keylock Base 

A standard building material of strength and 
quality, representing in its patented features, 
many new improvements. These effect economy 
in its cost of application, insuring proper struc- 
tural strength. It is recommended by competent 
testing engineers, research laboratories, stucco 
manufacturers and leading contractors. 

KEYLOCK consists of a heavy chipboard 
backing, upon which is spread a special quality 
asphalt mastic. In this mastic, carefully selected wood 
strips, chemically treated, with a patented cut on their edges, 
are embedded, stapled on and clinched with wire of heavy 
gauge. These wood strips are offset every eighth lath to 
automatically break joints. 

KEYLOCK BASH is furnished in rolls of 100 sq. ft. Nails 
for application are included in each package. THasily ware- 
housed, it comes on the job in perfect condition, and, be- 
cause of its patented features, a saving in application costs 
is assured. 


Nature of Keylock Base 

(1)—KEYLOCK takes the place of sheathing, building 
paper, furring strips, lathing and nails. 

(2)—KEYLOCK automatically breaks joints for studding, 
thus conforming to standard lathing practice. It is 
unnecessary to cut the backing. Just roll it down 
it will interlock and fit. 

(3)—Cuts 4% in. deep are made into the edge of 
the wood strips. These cuts are 1% in. long 
on the top side of the strips and 1%4 in. on 
bottom strip of each side of the wood strips. 
A longitudinal bevel cut along the edge of the 
lath is also furnished. The effect and the 
advantage of these cuts, is to effect a clinch 
at the widest part of the material, thus 
creating maximum strength with minimum 
material. 

(4)—Wood Strips are chemically treated by im- 
pregnation with water-proofing chemicals, 
thus eliminating absorption that results in 


warping and distortion with ultimate failure 
of the mortar. 

(5)—These woods strips, in addition to being em- 
bedded in the asphalt mastic, are stapled on 
and clinched, insuring absolute accuracy in 
spacing and making safe for practical ware- 
housing and handling. 

(6)—The heavy chipboard backing and asphalt 
mastie lend insulating and sound deadening 
qualities. 

(7)—Water-proofing and vermin-proofing of the 
structure are insured by the heavy coat of 
asphalt. 


BUILDER 
WHO 
CARES 


A Complete 


(8)—Cost of proper application is minimized. Joints 
are easily broken and openings easily sawed out. 
(9)—Comparative tests made by reputable laboratories 
have clearly shown the use of KEYLOCK to be 
superior to ordinary methods of construction. 


Instructions for Keylock Application: 

NAILING—Start the roll at the top of the stud- 
ding with protruding strips extending over the 
edge. Use nails included in the roll. Nail each 
strip at different bearing point when used over 
studding, or furring, and not less than four 
nails to each strip over sheathing. The adjoin- 
ing roll interlaces with the previous one, thus 
automatically breaking joints. 


CUTTING—Saw across the strips in the same manner as 
when sawing lumber. Application is simplified by cutting 
out window openings, ete., after application. 


Standard Specifications for Users of Keylock: 


All exterior surfaces of frame wall having stucco finish, 
as indicated on drawings, shall be covered with KEYLOCK 
STUCCO BASH. 


KEYLOCK BASE shall be applied according to the manu- 
facturer’s specifications, automatically breaking joints every 
eighth strip and securely nailing every strip with at least 
four nails. 


Grounds or blocks shall be provided to secure all trim, 
brackets, pipe supports, etc. They shall be %4 x 2 in. as shown 
or necessary, and shall be secured safely, true and plumb. 

Ceilings and soffits throughout all floors shall be 
furred with % x 2-in. furring strips set 16 in. on 
center. 

All interior walls and partitions, including ceil- 
ings and soffits throughout, shall be covered with 
standard, chemically treated offset joint KEYLOCK 
BASE applied as above indicated. 


Important Information: ;

CRYSTAL SPAR for Walks and Driveways 


Crystal Dash For Stucco 
Made By 


LIMESTONE PRODUCTS CORPORATION OF AMERICA 


NEWTON, NEW JERSEY 
PLANT: LIME CREST, SUSSEX CO., N. J. LEHIGH & HUDSON R. R. 


PARTIAL VIEW OF 
PLANT 


Annual Capacity: 
600,000 Tons 


Products 

The products of this company are Crushed 
Limestone and Pulverized Limestone, the raw 
material for both products being quarried from 
what is probably the finest deposit of limestone 
in the United States. We are also producers and 
shippers of an exceptionally beautiful grade of 
Crystalline Stucco Dash. 


The Lime Crest Quarry 

The stone in this exceptional quarry analyzes about 97 to 
98% in Calcium Carbonate, 1 to 14% Magnesia and about 
1% Silica. There is little stripping required as the stone 
to a large extent crops out on the surface, as the stone for- 
mation lies horizontally there are no dirt pockets or dirt 
seams to contend with. The face of the quarry is 80 ft. 
high and being an open cut is perfectly dry and susceptible 
of being worked practically in all weather. The stone is a 
calcite and white. 


Crystal Spar 

We are large shippers of Crushed Limestone which 
is marketed under the name of “Crystal Spar.” This is a 
beautiful white stone which makes the finest kind of walks 
and driveways—suggesting the coolness of snow in appear- 
ance and giving forth a delightful crunch as you walk on it. 

Being pure white in color, walks and drives made of Crystal 
Spar contrast charmingly with the green of lawns and 
shrubbery and are easily distinguished at night. Such 
walks and drives retain their original beauty, for rain 
merely makes them whiter. The absorbent qualities of 
walks and drives made of Crystal Spar are very good 
so that a few minutes after a heavy shower one can walk 
dry-shod on them. Crystal Spar is sufficiently heavy to be 
uneffected by rain, and is not washed away like tanbark, 
or similar light material, sometimes used for constructing 
walks. 


Covering Capacity 

Crystal Spar is not expensive and one ton will cover 
120 square feet 2 inches deep. On receipt of rough sketch 
of grounds surrounding house we will be glad to suggest 
best arrangement of walks and driveways and to quote price 
on necessary amount of Crystal Spar to properly construct 
them. 


For Borders 

Pieces of uncrushed limestone can be furnished for 
bordering the walks and drives and for constructing rock- 
eries or decorative designs around flower beds. As lime 
is the most important element of plant food such borders 
serve a double purpose—nourishing the plants as well as 
providing a charming decoration to the grounds. 


Trade Mark 


Pulverized Limestone 
As noted above lime is an important element of 
plant food. Our Lime Crest Brand of Pulverized 


he < Lime is used for fertilizing lawns, flower beds and 
rest farms. It is ground extremely fine in order that it 


may be readily absorbed by the soil. Unlike manure, 
and other animal fertilizers, it has no unpleasant 
odor, but is a clean, sweet plant food that is applied 
merely by sprinkling it on top of the soil and leaving it 
for the rain to wash in, or it may be washed in immediately 
after application by spraying with a hose. 

Three hundred pounds of Lime Crest Pulverized Limestone 
is the proper amount to use on 1000 square feet of lawn. 


Crystal Dash 


This Dash for stucco makes the most beautiful finish 
imaginable. It has a high lustre, due to its Crystalline 
character, and is white in color with a slight bluish tinge— 
the tones and sparkle one sees in new-fallen snow under 
moonlight. You must see this Dash in order to appreciate 
its exceptional beauty. 


Samples 


We are always glad to send samples of our product to 
anyone interested.

Provides Better Walls for Better Homes 

Nothing adds more charm to the modern home than 
beautiful walls. Nor is anything more unsightly than 
chipped, cracked or blistered walls. Permanently beau- 
tiful, snowy white walls are easily obtained through 
the use of Ohio White Finishing Lime. 

It not only gives a lasting finish, but 
also produces a fire-resisting, metal- 
preserving, acoustics-improving wall. 
No matter whether walls be tinted, 
painted or papered, there is no chip- 
ping, cracking or blistering. 

These results are due to the unusual 
purity and peculiar 
natural composition 
of the dolomitic 
limestone from 
which it is made. 
Being exceedingly 
“fat” or plastic it 
provides maximum 
coverage with min- 
imum of labor and 
material. 

In humble cottage 
or luxurious man- 
sion, Ohio White 
Finishing Lime ac- 
complishes the ex- 
traordinary because 
it is a better-than- 
ordinary lime. 


TRADEMARKS 


Where It Should Be Used 

The following list is given as repre- 
senting the general classifications of 
work where Ohio White Finishing Lime 
can and should be used. 


For White Coating 

If closely examined with a micro- 
scope, the white coating in which any 
Ohio White Finish product has been 
used would be found to be filled with 
minute pores. Peculiarly enough, 
these pores play a very important part 
in the successful acoustics of a room. 
Although too small for the naked 
eye to see, yet they break up and 
absorb the sound waves, preventing 
any rebound which is the reason for 
the echo nuisance where this porosity 
does not exist. 


Another distinct advantage realized is the permanency 
of the walls which affords a like degree of permanency in 
the decorations. If white coated walls are allowed to stand 
undecorated for at least one year, this permits the build- 
ing to settle so that any cracks which may result from 
the settling, can be properly filled and allowed to harden. 
The result is a perfectly smooth, white wall, capable of 
being made permanently beautiful because of the corre- 
sponding permanency of Ohio White Finish Lime. 


Scratch and Brown Coats 

The uniform quality and unusual plasticity of Ohio White 
Lime have made it an important factor in high grade inter- 
ior plaster work in- 
cluding scratch and 
brown coats. 

As a matter of 
fact, there is no 
kind of plaster work 
where Ohio White 
Lime plaster does 
not excel. It can 
be used on all kinds 
and grades of ma- 
terial with better re- 
sults in acoustics, 
light, sanitation, ap- 
pearance and life of 
the wall. 


Exterior Stucco 


Work 

The use of Ohio 
White Lime as an 
admixture to cement 
greatly improves 
exterior stucco work because of its unusual plasticity 
and “fatness.” This characteristic makes it possible to 
cover the metal lath with less pressure than is required 
for ordinary stucco mixtures, 

In like manner is the efficiency of the mixture in- 
creased for use on wood lath because of the liberal 
“key” produced. Then too, the plasticity or work- 
ability of the mass aids in effecting a complete “fill” 
in every crack and crevice. The monolithic surface 
thus produced prevents any absorption of outside 
moisture. Naturally this adds greatly to the lasting 
qualities of the stucco work. ;

OHIO WHITE FINISHING LIME (Continued) 


Water-tight Concrete Work 

The addition of Ohio White Lime to any concrete 
mixture in the proportion of 5% to 10% of the weight 
of the cement used, renders the mixture much easier 
to handle. The plasticity of the lime lubricates the 
mixture, making it mix better, pour easier, and run 
into the forms and around the reinforcing much more 
evenly and uniformly, making it possible to attain a 
clean, smooth finish. 

The increased density of the mass, resulting from 
the use of Ohio White Lime, renders the concrete work 
practically water-tight, hence far more permanent. 


Lime-Cement Mixtures 

Portland cement mixtures are greatly improved 
through the use of Ohio White lime. It possesses cer- 
tain lubricating properties which facilitate the move- 
ment of the mixture through the chutes as well as aiding 
in its handling. 

It also acts adhesively, holding the mass together, 
thereby preventing a separation of the sand and stone 
from the cement. In other words, the addition of Ohio 
White Lime renders the mixture more plastic, easier 
to handle and easier to spread, 
which alone effects a saving in 
labor. 

Then too, the same qualities 
which cause the greater plasticity, 
tend toward a closer contact in 
the mass with the result that the 
density of the mixture is in- 
creased and its resistive powers 
greatly multiplied. It is because 
of this peculiar characteristic that 
cement mixtures in which Ohio 
White Lime is used, are much 
denser and far less liable to crack. 


Mortar 

Portland cement mortars can be produced much 
easier and cheaper through the use of Ohio White Lime. 
Not only does it make the mixture easier to handle, 
but also does away with the labor ordinarily required 
to slake the lump lime. 

It can readily be realized that the use of mortar of 
such plasticity will naturally allow the brick, stone, tile 
or other material, to become more firmly embedded. 
This, of course, produces a compactness which obviously 
must add strength to the entire work. Likewise does 
this same characteristic tend to make the work more 
water-tight, while also making it possible to work the 
material in low temperature when ordinary cement 
mortar could not be safely handled.

THE WOODVILLE LIME PRODUCTS COMPANY 
TOLEDO, OHIO 


Quarry and Plant 
Woodville, Ohio 


View of plant and quarry of The Woodville Lime Products Company at Woodville, Ohio. With the addition of a 
new battery of twelve kilns, shown in the foreground, this company now has three batteries or 
a total of fifty-three kilns in operation. 


Nature at Her Best 


Digging into the earth we find nature’s handiwork in 
various stages of perfection. Somewhere we find the best 
coal, the finest ore or the greatest deposit of petroleum. 


So it is with limestone. The country is dotted with 
tracts of limestone. Somewhere nature had to excel herself, 
and she did! 


Our quarry, according to experts, is the finest deposit of 
limestone for making finishing and building hydrated lime, 
to be found anywhere. Nature .in her most gracious mood 
left millions of tons of clean, pure, solid rock composed 
of correctly balanced proportions of magnesium carbonate 
and calsium carbonate which produces lime of superlative 
quality. 


A Remarkable Quarry 


It takes no chemist to discover the wonderful quality of 
our limestone. A view of our quarry is sufficient to impress 
anyone that it contains limestone of unusual properties. 


As one stands on the edge of our quarry, an amazing 
sight greets the eye. On a floor as firm and as level as 
a city pavement, three large steam shovels and six busy 
little engines puff and steam day in and day out loading 
stone and hauling it to a mammoth crusher. 


Surrounding this busy scene is a solid, perpendicular wall 
of clean, solid rock which rises above the floor of the 
quarry to a height of sixty-five feet. 


As far as the eye can carry, not a seam, fissure, break 
or patch of dirt, stripping or unworkable stone may be seen. 


This quarry, gradually enlarging each year, and despite 
continual additions and enlargements to our plant, promises 
to supply limestone in adequate quantities for a hundred 
years to come. 


Located on the edge of this magnificent quarry is a 
gigantic stone crusher which takes great chunks of solid 
rock and crunches them into thousand of pieces. 


The crushed rock is conveyed to graduated screens where 
kiln stone of a uniform size is obtained. The uniformity 
of our kiln stone is worthy of note, as it standardizes burn- 
ing which has an important bearing on the high grade lime 
we produce. 


With this marvelous limestone available, it is only natural 
that we preserve and develop this quality by modern lime- 
making methods. 


Our manufacturing experience extends over a period of 
twenty-five years. We began over a quarter of a century 
ago as pioneers in the hydration of lime. 


During this time our lime has gained a country-wide 
reputation among architects, contractors, plasterers and 
owners as being the finest finishing hydrated lime it is 
possible to obtain. 


A Marvelous Finishing Lime 


Our product is distributed under three brand names, 
namely White Enamel, Gold Medal and White Lily Finish- 
ing Hydrated Lime. : 

As a finish, these brands produce snow-white walls which 
set with a stone-like hardness. Due to the purity of our 
lime, walls finished with our brands are free of ‘core’ 
and other foreign substances which tend to streak, strain, 
mar, pit, pop or blister. ; 

White Enamel Gold Metal and White Lily are favorites 
with plasterers owing to easy spreading properties, and to 
the fact that our lime does not roll up or work short under 
the trowel. 


A workman may do more work with our finish, and 
produce better results. 


An All-Around Building Lime 

White Enamel, Gold Medal and White Lily brands are 
an ideal lime for all building purposes where a high-grade, 
uniform and dependable lime is required. 

Where lime is specified to be used in mortar, stucco, 
concrete, brown or scratch coat plaster; White Enamel, 


‘

The Woodville Lime Products Company (Continued) 


Gold Medal or White Lily brands may be used with greater 
economy and better results for the reason that less of our 
lime is required to obtain the desired results as compared 
to mason’s lump or gray lime. 


White Enamel, Gold Medal or 
White Lily Hydrated Lime in Mortar 


Contractors and masons have found by experience that 
they can make a mortar with less quantities of White 
Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily brands with ordinary 
lime, and still produce better results. 


It is therefore just as economical to use White Enamel, 
Gold Medal or White Lily brands in mortar as it is to use 
ordinary mason’s lime, and the results are decidedly better. 


By reason of the wonderful plasticity and coalescent 
qualities of these brands of lime, mortar mixed with White 
Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily has greater sand carry- 
ing capacity, will work easier, adhere better and get stronger. 


The resultant masonry is more impervious to water, 
moisture and winds. The structural units are better im- 
bedded, and masons are able to do more and better work 
with less effort. 


White Enamel, Gold Medal and 
White Lily Brands in Concrete 


The functions of concrete in construction are so important 
that high grade lime, such as we produce, is practically 
essential for the best results when lime is specified to be 
used with concrete. 


White Inamel, Gold Medal and White Lily brands of 
hydrated lime are the most efficient integral water-tighten- 
ing mediums available today. This lime imparts plasticity 
to concrete and makes it more workable, reduces finishing 
and placing costs, and gives concrete mixtures easier work- 
ing qualities and greater molding properties with a minimum 
amount of water. 


The smooth, uniform texture of our lime adds a slippery 
quality to concrete which makes it travel through chutes 
with greater ease and rapidity. For the same reason, con- 
erete containing a mix of White Enamel, Gold Medal or 
White Lily prevents segregation of aggregate, honeycoming, 
stone pockets and makes it water-proof. 


Thus the advantages of using a high grade lime more 
than offsets the use of ordinary lime, and adds nothing 
to the cost as White Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily 
brands may be used in less quantities to obtain the desired 
results. 


A Trial Will Convince 


Regardless of what we say regarding White Enamel, 
Gold Medal or White Lily brands of Finishing Hydrated 
Lime, the fact remains that nothing is quite so convincing 
as an actual trial of any one of these brands under actual 
working conditions. 


You are doubtless persuaded that these brands are all we 
claim for them, yet are of the opinion there are other 
brands on the market of equal excellence. 


Only a trial will convince you of the difference in quality, 
in uniformity, in purity, in whiteness and in results. We 
freely admit that we have no secret or unusual methods 
of manufacture. We claim, however, that limestone cannot 
be manufactured. It is a product of nature, and if the 
natural ingredients of limestone are not fundamentally right 
or correctly balanced to produce a high grade lime, modern 
processes of manufacture cannot overcome this handicap. 


We not only have limestone that is fundamentally right, 
but we know how to make good lime. A trial of White 
Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily will convince you that 
it is good lime. : 


Specifications for White Coat Finish 


Use White Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily Hydrated 
Lime and the best grade of finely ground calcined plaster. 
Guage about 10 to 20 pounds of calcined plaster to each 
100 lbs. of Hydrated Lime, dry finish. If sand (or marble 
dust) is to be used in putty coat, add the specified amount. 


Directions for Preparation—F ill Lime box with necessary 
amount of water (four or five inches) then pour in hydrated 
lime direct from sacks and distribute it evenly in the box. 
If water is drawn from a hose, sprinkle the lime as it 
is spread in. There should be enough water used so that 
when lime is left to soak, it is a wet, soft mass. Sixteen 
to eighteen gallons of water to every one hundred pounds 
of Hydrated Lime will give batch the right consistency. 
It should then be left to soak from ten to fifteen hours as 
it works better when well soaked. During this time do 
not stir. 


Application—The brown coats in connection with gypsum 
(hard wall) plaster shall have become dry before the finish 
coat is applied. 


The brown coat in connection with lime plaster shall have 
become firmly: set, but not dry, before the finish coat is 
applied. Trowel white finish down with water, same as 
with lump lime putty, to a smooth perfect surface. 


Covering Capacity—Eight hundred to one thousand square 
yards to the ton of finish for the average white coat job. 
For extra good work, or if base coat is rough, it will 
run somewhat less,

ARMSTRONG’S CORKBOARD INSULATION 
FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS 


Made By 


ARMSTRONG CORK & INSULATION COMPANY 


210 Twenty-Fourth St., Pittsburgh, Pa. 
BRANCHES IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES 


A generation ago, home builders paid little attention to 
the insulation of their walls and roofs. Fuel was cheap and 
the principles of insulation and its relation to comfort and 
economy in the home were not generally understood. But 
the situation is very different today. Fuel is expensive 
and fuel economy a very important consideration with most 
people. Moreover, it is now recognized that only by means 
of insulation can the house be adequately protected against 
summer’s heat and winter’s cold. The use of insulation of 
‘the proper kind and in sufficient thickness insures a house 
that is cooler in summer and warmer in winter; one that 
is freer from drafts, and more easily and uniformly heated 
with a smaller plant and less fuel. 

There is nothing new or experimental about Armstrong’s 
Corkboard. On the contrary, corkboard has for many years 
been the one insulation generally recognized in the industries 
as being the most efficient practical and structurally service- 
able insulation known. Tor 30 years Armstrong’s Cork- 
board has been used, for example, in cold storage construc- 
tion in exactly the same way, except for thickness, as it 
is now used in houses. In efficiency, durability, and 
structural adaptability, corkboard is today the established 
standard, proved by years of service superior to every other 
type of insulation. 


Nailing Armstrong’s Corkboard to the roof rafters. Residence 
of Mr. G. Jungling, Cincinnati, O. 


Armstrong’s Corkboard is made of granules of pure cork 
compressed in sheets. It is nonabsorbent of moisture and 
not subject to deterioration through mold, decay or any 
other form of disintegration. It is a fire retardant, vermin 
proof, and will not shrink, swell, or buckle. Armstrong’s 
Corkboard once installed is as permanent as the house itself. 


Armstrong's Corkboard is made in boards 12x32 and 36 
inches and 1, 144, 2, and 3 inches thick. It is more easily cut 
and sawed than lumber and is readily erected by nailing 
in frame construction or in cement mortar against brick,

tile, conerete, and stone. It is generally applied on the 
inside surfaces of walls and plaster applied directly on the 
corkboard without the use of lath. For stucco finished 
houses Armstrong’s Corkboard may be used on the exterior 
of the walls. Roofs are usually insulated by nailing the 
corkboard to the underside of the rafters and plastering, 
if the attic is finished; by laying over the top floor joists 
in an unfinished attic; or as a ceiling on the underside of 
the top-floor joists, finished with plaster. 

Armstrong’s Corkboard is not expensive. On the con- 
trary its first cost is very moderate and its use makes 
possible economies that easily repay the entire investment 
in a very short time. For example, a house insulated with 
Armstrong’s Corkboard can be comfortably heated with a 
much smaller plant than would otherwise be required. This 
saving alone reduces the net cost of the insulation to a 
very small percentage of the cost of the house. Another 
saving is the omission of lath from the insulated walls and 
ceilings. Then there is that very important economy, the 
year-after-year saving in fuel amounting to a third or more, 
which makes Armstrong’s Corkboard insulation one of the 
best paying investments you can build into your house. 

That is the financial side of insulation which takes no 
account of comfort and health factors that cannot be valued 
in money and yet are so indispensable as to make cork 
insulation worth many times its cost. 

In the light of all that is known about insulation and 
what it means in comfort, health, and economy, you cannot 
afford to build without it. Full particulars about Arm- 
strong’s Corkboard with a sample of the material will be 
supplied on request and without obligation.

Celotex Insulating Lumber is a felted and 
waterproofed cane fibre board with heat 
insulating value of 0.33 B. T. U. per hour 
per inch thickness and strength in wall 
sections greater than horizontal pine sheathing. It has 
a higher sound insulation value than standard deadening felts. 

It is manufactured in several different grades and qualities. 
A board is made for home construction known as 


Celotex Standard Building Board: 


When insulated by the use of Celotex Standard Building 
Board as a part of the structure, a home or other building 
is stronger, warmer, quieter and more healthful. 

It is free from drafts and dampness and a saving of 
approximately 1-3 of each year’s fuel expense is effected. 

This is accomplished with no extra expense to the builder 
in his original construction costs as Celotex replaces other 
materials and reduces the size of the heating plant. 

For information regarding other kinds of Celotex Insulating 
Lumber, address company’s general offices. 

Sizes: 

Thickness approximately 7/16 inch; average weight, 60 lbs. 

per 100 square feet; width, 4 feet; length. 8 to 12 feet.

ever, to space the studs, joists and rafters 
16 in. on center. Wherever it is necessary 
to have a horizontal joint in the Celotex, a 
2 in. x 4 in. header shall be cut in between 
the framing. No bracing is necessary other than is usual in 
frame construction. 

Note: Where Celotex is used on ceilings with plaster 
applied directly to its surface or over stripping on 
masonry walls, a 2x4 header or a furring strip sHall be 
cut in every 4 feet for nailing. 

Preparation of Celotex (Wetting) Important: Celotex boards 
shall be moistened on both sides by sprinkling or spraying 
and piled, not less than one day before application of boards 
to walls, except where applied as interior finish to other 
flat wall surfaces. 


Application: The Celotex boards shall be applied length- 
wise of studs, joists and rafters, directly to the wood frame 
work, and set in place so as to have a bearing for nailing 
along all edges. 

Leave 3/16 in. space between adjoining boards, also at 
top and bottom of boards. The board is cut a scant 4 ft. 
to allow for this space. Around window and door frames, 
or where a snug point is desired, the Celotex shall be brought 
to moderate contact. DO NOT force into place. 

Where rafters project beyond face of studding, Celotex 
shall be cut to fit snugly around rafters, and to form close 
joint with the roof insulation. 


Nailing: Nail the Celotex to intermediate studs, begin- 
ning at top, then entirely around all edges of each board. 
Nail in like manner to joists, rafters, sills, plates and headers. 
Use standard 11% in. galvanized roofing nails with % in. heads. 
Space nails 3 in. apart along edges for sheathing, and 2 in. 
apart for plaster and wallpaper base, and 6 in. apart along 
intermediate rows, driving nails until the heads are 1/16 in. 
to \% in. below the surface of the Celotex. Nails shall be 
placed approximately 36 in. from the edge of the boards. 


Note: Where Celotex is to be used as an interior 
finish, all exposed surfaces shall be nailed with 1% in. 
finishing nails spaced 3 in. on centers. They shall be 
driven at an angle of 30 degrees, staggering the angles, 
and set in with a nail-set so that the heads will lie 
slightly below the surface of the Celotex. 

Notre: Where Celotex is applied to wood strips on 
masonry walls use 1% in. nails with % in. heads.

CELOTEX INSULATING LUMBER— (Continued) 


Application of Plaster: 


Do not moisten Celotex after application before applying 
plaster. Prepared wood fibre or Gypsum plaster containing 
not more than 10% of lime content shall be used. If neat 
gypsum plaster is used, mix one part with not more than two 
parts of clean coarse, sharp sand, free from loam or other 
foreign matter. 

If sanded gypsum plaster or gypsum wood fibre plaster 
are used, mix according to manufacturers’ directions. Plaster 
that will ‘set’ in 1% to 2 hours should be used. Apply 
plaster directly to Celotex, in the same manner as applied to 
lath, pressing the plaster thoroughly into the joints between 
sheets of Celotex, completely filling joint to the lumber base. 
This forms a full key reinforcing the joint. The first coat 
must have a thickness of not less than % in. In all plaster 
work the finished plaster thickness shall be not less than ¥% in. 

Any type of finish coat may be used, provided its thickness 
is not more than 4% in. The use of lime plaster, or lime mixed 
with gypsum plaster is not recommended, except for finish 
coat. 

Celotex provides for the plasterer a wide flat area and some- 
times the temptation is to skimp the plaster. The thickness 
of plaster over Celotex must be equal to that over lath. 


Ventilation: 

(Important). Moisture will not pass through Celotex as 
through lath. The plaster must dry by giving up its moisture 
to the air in the room. It is absolutely necessary, especially 
in winter, to give proper attention to heat and ventilation while 
plaster is drying. Failure to ventilate will cause trouble. 


Sizing, Painting, Staining or Tinting Celotex: 

Sizing: To secure maximum coverage, when oil paints are 
used, the surface of Celotex must be sized or primed. : 

When water paints or stains are used, no sizing or priming 
is necessary. 

“A” Glue Sizing: Dissolve two pound of shell or chip glue 
in three gallons of boiling water and apply warm. Use no size 
that has been mixed over eight hours. Apply swiftly and evenly. 
Coverage, approximately 250 square feet to the gallon of this 
mixture. When glue size is dry any oil paint or stain may 
be applied, or the board may first be tinted with a water stain 
(see specification below) then sized and oil paint applied with 
stencils. 

“B” Oil and Silax Size: Dissolve 8 pound of silax in 
one gallon of boiled linseed oil (cheaper oils may be used but 
results are not as good). Mix thoroughly and apply; coverage, 
approximately 225 square feet to the gallon of this mixture. 
This size is more expensive but produces a very satisfactory 
surface and takes the place of one coat of oil paint. 

“C” Casein Size: All casein sizes are produced with manu- 
factures specifications for mixing and applying. The average 
coverage is approximately 275 square feet per gallon of 
mixture. They are mixed with water. No casein size should 
be used that contains free lime. In markets where these sizes 
are not available The Celotex Company will recommend an 
appropriate brand. 


Oil Paints: 


Priming : Instead of sizing, a priming coat containing 
¥% turpentine, % boiled linseed oil and % paint may be used. 
This should be brushed on swiftly and evenly. 

Painting: Over a sized or primed surface, any paint may be 
used or painting effect produced. 

Note: The above specifications apply equally to interior 
or exterior painting so far as the preparation of the walls 
are concerned. 


Oil Stains: 


Oil, benzol, alcohol, acid or any other penetrating stains may 
be applied over glue or casein sizes in the usual manner. Oil 
and silax size produces a built up white surface similar to one 
coat of white oil primer. 


Water Paints and Stains: 


Wood Stains: All commercial stains used for dyeing wood 
may be used over Celotex without sizing. These are mixed 
in hot water and applied cold in accordance with -manufacturer’s 
specifications. The coverage is large, approximately 500 square 
feet to the gallon but the quantity of dye depends upon the 
strength of tint desired. These tints should be applied swiftly 
and evenly with a large brush. 

Paste Water Stains: Paste water stains are dry colors which 
are mixed with paste specially prepared by manufacturers and 
may be applied without the use of sizes, as the paste contains 
the necessary glue. They are mixed in accordance with manu- 
facturer’s specifications. Any color or tint may be produced. 


Due to the slow drying qualities of this material, other color 
tints may be mottled into them, producing tiffany or antique 
effects in one painting operation. Any stencil effect can be 
applied on this background in Fresco or Japan colors. 


Kalsomine Tints: Kalsomine tints may be applied over either 
sized or unsized surfaces. When sizing is not used, add 
small amount of glue to mixture. Mix and apply in accordance 
with manufacturer’s specifications. Any kalsomine surface 
maybe stenciled in Fresco or Japan colors. 


Celotex as Interior Wall Finish for Application of Wall- 
paper, Sanitas or Canvas. 


For Use In Dwellings of Moderate Cost. 


Material: Celotex Standard Building Board shall be used 
as a base for this application, applied in accordance with 
standard specifications, with the following additions and pre- 
cautions which govern this application: 


Framing: Before applying Celotex, the framing must be 
carefully checked. If studs require straightening, saw the 
concave side of the bowed studs about two inches, and drive 
in a wooden wedge until stud straightens. 

Nailing: Nail all surfaces of the board except the edges, in 
accordance with standard specifications. On all outside edges 
space nails 2 in. on centers and drive in until the heads are 
1/16 in. to \% in. below the surface of the board. 

Sandpapering: Because of the close nailing and the fact that 
nails are driven in so far, there is a depression and roughness 
at joint. Wrap a piece of coarse sand paper around a piece of 
2 in. x 4 in., about 12 in. long, and sand with a circular 
motion, across the joint. Do not sand the depression out, or to 
the nail heads, but just enough to smooth off rough or raised 
surface, caused by nailing. Bring the surface of the two 
Celotex boards, except for depression at nails, to an even 
plane. Check surface of Celotex boards at intermediate nailing ; 
if raised, sand slightly in same way. Also sand well in joints 
between nails to keep edges from rising. 

Sizing: Celotex must be sized before applying paper. Dis- 
solve one pound of shell or chip glue in three gallons of boiling 
water and apply warm. Apply within eight hours of time 
of mixing. Apply in a heavy, uniform coat, 

Muslin Joints: On all joints and angles (external and in_ 

ternal) paste on with wallpaper paste, a cheese cloth or thin 
muslin strip 5 in. wide. Paste the strip well before applying, 
and brush away from joint until it is stretched tight. This 
will bridge the depression made by nailing. Strip should not 
touch nail heads, 
_ Lining Paper: Apply lining paper. Any smooth paper will 
do for this operation, but on ceilings, where light colored, un- 
figured paper is to be used, the lining paper should be of 
sufficient weight to obscure muslin strips. Old patterns or 
discolored stock may be used just to give smooth, easy work- 
ing surface for finish paper. Apply lining paper with a thick 
coat of regular wallpaper paste. It is suggested the lining 
paper be run opposite to finish paper to avoid getting two 
joints at the same place. This, however, is not absolutely 
necessary. The same care in hanging is not needed as in 
finish paper, the important thing being not to use lap joints. 
This lining paper when dry bridges over depressions made by 
nail heads not touching them. It also strengthens muslin 
joints. ; 

Finish Paper: Any desired paper, Sanitas or canvas is 
then applied the same as over any wall surface.

Celotex As Roof Insulation. 


Material: The top of the house shall be instlated with 
Celotex Standard Building Board applied to the wcod fram- 
ing in accordance with standard specifications (except where 
applied to wood deck, specification for which appears in this 
Section). The place of application and the number of thick- 
nesses shall be as directed for the particular case. 

Applied Over Roof Rafters: Furring and Roofing: For wood 
shingles, slate, tile or any other brand of rigid roofing, apply 
2 in. shingle lath directly over the Celotex, nailing through into 
the rafters; shingle lath shall be spaced to fit the particular 
roofing specified. 

For shingles too flexible to bridge the lath, or for roll or 
sheet roofing first apply wood sheathing board. ‘Then apply 
Celotex, butting the joints. Over this apply roofing, nailing 
through to the sheathing.

CELOTEX INSULATING LUMBER— (Continued) 


In summer cottages where Celotex is used as interior finish 
in connection with open rafters, Celotex may first be applied 
to rafters, and sheathing, shingle strips or spaced sheathing 
applied over it to receive various types of roofing. 


As Attic Lining and Insulation. Applied to the Under Side 
of Roof Rafters: Apply Celotex Standard Building Board to 
the underside of roof rafters, extended to a tight joining with 
the wall insulation on all sides. In houses already constructed 
where there is no side wall insulation, bring Celotex in close 
contact with side wall sheathing, carefully filling all spaces 
where air leakage may occur around cornices. If frame is 
not spaced properly it shall be furred with 1 in. x 2 in. strips 
spaced 16 in. on centers. 


Applied to the Upper Side of Attic Joists: Apply Celotex 
Standard Building Board on top of attic frour joists, extending 
it to a tight joining with side wall insulation. In old houses 
where there is no side wall insulation, use method specified 
in previous paragraph. Lay wood floor over the Celotex 
in such portions of attic as are to be used for storage or 
living rooms. 


Note: Celotex used with plaster applied direct on 
second floor ceiling, also operates as roof insulation. 


Note: If attic is to be used as a bedroom or other 
living room—see specifications for Celotex with plaster 
applied direct and Interior Finish. 


Applied Over Wood Deck: (For Commercial and Industrial 
ead See also our Specifications for Celotex Industrial 
oard. 


Preparation of Deck: Roof deck shall be made of seasoned 
dressed and matched lumbery, properly nailed, all nails driven 
flush with boards. The deck shall be laid to slope and 
pitched to drain, as shown on plans and specifications. Deck 
shall be swept clean before laying Celotex insulation. Nail 
cant strips around walls and where required after Celotex 
is in place. 

Application: The Celotex shall be nailed to the wood deck, 
using 1% in. standard roofing nails with % in. head, and 
spacing nails 1 ft. on centers. Nails in the body of the board 
shall be staggered. Nails shall be driven until the nail heads 
are 14 in. to 1/16 in. below the surface of the Celotex. Where 
more than one layer of Celotex is applied use nails of sufficient 
length to penetrate wood deck. 


Transverse joints and joints of successive layers shall be 
broken, 

Be careful to fit tight joints with walls and around all roof 
projections, but DO NOT force into place. 
_ Apply tin or other form of flat roof in accordance with Roof- 
ing Specifications. 


Additional layers of Celotex used for roof insulation shall 
be applied in the manner above specified.

ening of floors and walls. 
Balsam-Wool Sound Absor- 
bent for acoustical treatments. 


Balsam-Wool Standard 
Building Insulation 

A Wood Product — Balsam- 
Wool is made from pure wood 
fibers in fleecy wool form, per- 
manently matted together and 
treated chemically to resist fire. 
For building purposes it is fur- 
nished 14 in. thick, between two 
sheets of asphalt-coated tough 
kraft paper. 

Highly Efficient as a Heat Insulator—In Balsam- 
Wool the natural heat resistance of the wood is multi- 
plied many times by a rearrangement of the cellular 
wood fibers into a ‘‘wool’’ form which retards the 
circulation of air. The still air space in Balsam-Wool 
is approximately 95%, while its density in pounds 
per cubic foot is only 3.80. The fact that the paper 
covers of Balsam - Wool 
are not stitched or punc- 
tured in any way adds 
further to its heat, mois- 
ture and wind resisting 
qualities. Standard spec- 
ifications, and test results 
showing the efficiency of 
Balsam - Wool compared 
with other building insu- 
lations are given in this 


article. 


An Effective Sound 
Deadener—The ability of 
the wool to absorb sound, 
and the tendency of the 
paper covering to reflect 
sound waves, account for 
the remarkable efficiency 


Standard Package 
Contains 250 Sq. Ft. 
Weight, 50 Lbs. 


Waterproof—The film of asphalt which lines 
the paper coverings protects the wool from 
moisture, and at the same time keeps dampness 
out of the building. 

Fire Resistant — The wool is chemically 
treated against fire. 

It will char while exposed to 
flame, but will not smolder or 
burn after the flame is removed. 
Balsam-Wool in itself will not 
support combustion. 

Verminproof and Sanitary— 
Balsam-Wool contains no ani- 
mal matter. It does not attract 
or harbor rats, mice or vermin. 
It is clean, odorless and sani- 
tary. 

Permanent—The wool cannot 
sift or settle because each fiber is coated with an ad- 
hesive which cements it to adjoining fibers. The 
asphalt coating provides a permanent bond between 
wool and paper. Balsam-Wool is as permanent as the 
walls which hold it. 

Uniform in Quality—During the process of manu- 
facture Balsam-Wool is under constant laboratory 
supervision for uniformity and thermal conductivity. 

Low Cost of Installa- 
tion — Three standard 
, widths meet all average 
construction require- 
ments. Thus, the ear- 
penter cuts on lym 
length. Being flexible, 
Balsam - Wool can be 
fitted easily into corners 
and around projections 
without waste of mate- 
rial. Being light and 
easily installed, it speeds 
up the work and keeps 
down installation costs.

Note the resemblance in appearance to sheep’s wool. Actual tests 
on the two materials show an equally striking similarity in insulat- 
ing efficiency. In Balsam-Wool you have practically the equivalent 
of sheep’s wool in insulating efficiency at about one-fifth the cost. 
Balsam-Wool is so efficient because it is 95% still air space—that 
accounts, too, for its light weight.

Balsam-Wool Sound Absorbent 


For use in acoustical treatments, where sound ab- 
sorption rather than sound insulation is the impor- 
tant factor, Balsam-Wool is furnished in a special 
form. Complete information on Balsam-Wool Sound 
Absorbent will be furnished on request. 


A Weyerhaeuser Product 


Balsam-Wool bears the name of an organization 
which for more than 65 years has been known for the 
high standard of quality maintained in all its prod- 
ucts. On every roll of genuine Balsam-Wool will be 
found the Weyerhaeuser Forest Products trade-mark, 
the maker’s pledge of personal responsibility. 


Heat Insulation for Buildings 


Practical Insulation Tests—In the effort to obtain 
practical insulating data for architects, a series of 
tests was recently conducted for Woop CONVERSION 
Company by the C. F. Burgess Laboratories of Madi- 
son, Wisconsin. 

Made on Actual Wall and Roof Sections—The roof 
and wall sections tested were of standard construc- 
tion, and included types most commonly encountered 
in residential work. 

First, each section was tested for its thermal con- 
ductivity without insulation. Commercial insulating 
materials, purchased from dealers’ stocks, were then 
applied in turn, so that the series of tests would show 
(1) the absolute heat loss through each type of wall 
or roof, insulated and uninsulated, and (2) the rela- 
tive efficiency of the different insulators wnder actual 
service conditions. 

Standard heat transmission test methods were em- 
ployed. Details of these will be furnished on re- 
quest. 

Balsam-Wool the Most Efficient—Results of these 
tests show a wide difference in the efficiency of the 
eight insulators under trial. As might be expected, 
their relative standing varies somewhat in the case 
of the different wall and roof constructions to which 
they were applied, but in every case the heat loss 
through Balsam-Wool was shown to be the lowest. 

General Conclusions—Test results show that the 
heat loss through the roof is relatively greater than 
through the walls. They also show that the amount 
of heat loss in either case is largely dependent on the 
building materials employed. 

The percentage of saving due to insulation is high- 
est in the case of those walls and roofs which showed 
the greatest amount of heat loss when uninsulated. 
However, the results show that there is a large pre- 
ventable waste of heat through uninsulated walls and 
roofs of every type. 

The Economies of Insulation—In the light of these 
tests and the actual results obtained in insulated 
buildings, insulation must be recognized as an im- 
portant measure of fuel conservation. 

Thousands of insulated houses throughout the

ception of a strip

country are burning from one-fourth to one-third less 
coal than uninsulated houses of the same size. More- 
over, heating engineers are suggesting a reduction of 
as much as 20% in boiler capacity and radiation 
when proper insulation is specified. 

These economic considerations, together with sum- 
mer and winter comfort and the protection against 
sudden temperature changes, explain the popularity 
and greater resale value of the insulated house.

Balsam-Wool applied vertically on inside face of studding, 
edges butted together on every other stud. Fur over insula- 
tion with 1x 2-in. furring strips on each stud to receive lath 
and plaster. 

Note: This method requires special width door and window 
frames. 

Where heating or plumbing pipes are installed in space 
between studs of outside walls, insulate between studs as in 
Method No. 1, in addition to insulation as above. 


Masonry Outside Wall Insulation 
(Stone, brick, hollow tile or concrete block) 

Method No. 1 (32-in. Width)—Fur the wall with 1x 2-in. 
furring strips on 16-in. centers, shimmed plumb and true. Insu- 
late with 32-in. width Balsam-Wool applied vertically on inside 
of furring, edges butted together on every other strip. Fur 
over insulation with 1x 2-in. furring strips on each wall-fur- 
ring strip to receive lath and plaster. 

Method No. 2—(17-in. Width)—Fur the wall with 2 x 2-in. 
furring strips, on 16-in. centers, shimmed plumb and true. 
Insulate with 17-in. width Balsam-Wool, applied vertically be- 
tween furring strips with back of insulation against inside 
face of wall. The flanges or turnouts shall be continuously 
fastened by means of laths or strips nailed securely to the fur- 
ring on the sides and to soles, plates or headers at the top and 
bottom. 


Roof Insulation 
(Rafters set on 16-in. centers) 

Method No. 1 (17-in. Width) —Insulate with 17-in. 
Balsam-Wool applied between the rafters with back of insula- 
tion against inside face of roof boarding. The flanges or turn- 
outs shall be continuously fastened by means of laths or strips 
nailed securely through insulation to the sides of rafters, 
plates, ridges, ete. 

Note: Where rafters are set on 24-in, centers use 25-in. 
width Balsam-Wool. 

Method No. 2 (82-in. Width)—Insulate with 32-in. width 
Balsam-Wool applied on the inside face of rafters, edges 
butted together on every other rafter. Fur over insulation 
with 1x 2-in, furring strips on each rafter to receive lath and 
plaster. (Use laths or strips if space under rafters is un- 
plastered.) 


Ceiling Insulation 
(Joists set on 16-in. centers) 

(Use instead of roof insulation for second floor ceilings 
where attic above is not to be used for living quarters; also 
for basement ceilings where space is unheated; and for porch 
ceilings where space above is used for living quarters, as in 
second floor extensions, etc. Insulation is also recommended 
for first floor ceilings under bedrooms that will be cold at 
night, and for ceilings of first floor bedrooms where space 
above is heated at night.) 


Method No. 1 (17-in. Width)—Insulate with 17-in. width 
Balsam-Wool applied between joists with back of insulation 
against underside of rough flooring. The flanges or turnouts 
shall be continuously fastened by means of laths or strips

Balsam-Wool. 


Method No. 2 (32-in. Width)—Insulate with 32-in. width 
Balsam-Wool applied on the bottom of joists, edges butted 
together on every other joist. Fur over insulation with 1 x2-in. 
furring strips on each joist to receive lath and plaster or 
ceiling. 


No matter how 
hot the sun, this 
room will always be 
comfortable. In this 
story - and-a - half 
house Balsam- Wool 
is applied not only 
between the studs 
but also between the 
rafters and under 
the ceiling joists. As 
a rule it is impossi- 
ble to live comfort- 
ably in such rooms 
in an_ uninsulated 
house in the sum- 
mertime. Balsam - 
Wool makes them as 
cool as the rooms 
below.

set on 16-in. centers.) 

Method No. 1 (32-in. Width)—Insulate with 32-in. width 
Balsam-Wool applied over subfloor, edges butted together over 
every other joist. Fur over insulation with 1x 2-in. furring 
strips secured over each joist to receive finish floor. 

Note: Where entire building floor area is not insulated as 


above, set floor joists of insulated area sufficiently below normal 
joist level to compensate for thickness of insulation and stripping. 


Method No. 2 (17-in. Width)—(Use where headroom below 
joists is sufficient for working space and is accessible.) 

Insulate with 17-in. width Balsam-Wool applied between

Description 

Insulex is cellular gypsum 
and is used for sound deaden- 
ing and insulation against 
heat and cold. It is ight in 
weight and its structure con- 
sists of millions of tiny dead 
air cells, each encased in a min- 
eral wall of gypsum, which in 
itself, is of low conductivity. It 
comes in powdered form, put up in 80 lb.sacks. Each sack 
is marked with the trade-name “Insulex the Gypsum in- 
sulation” and full directions are given on each sack 
for mixing and application. Insulex, when mixed with 
water, expands 3 to 7 times, depending on kind and 
for purpose used. It sets in 20 to 30 minutes. Tiny 
confined dead air cells are formed by millions, creating 
a remarkable resistance to heat, cold and sound. Any 
desired thickness or shape can be installed. 

Insulex is supplied to make different finished weights 
per cubic foot—12, 18, 24 and 30 lb. per cu. ft. being 
the usual standards. The numbers on the sack indicate 
the number of pounds of that kind of Insulex powder 
required to make 1 cu. ft. of Insulex in place. 


| y and for industrial uses such as 
asd pipe and boiler covering, cold 
storage work, etc. Insulex is used 
as a lightweight fill for reducing 
dead load in structures. 


Note the millions of tiny air-cells visible to the eye, 
making the ideal insulation condition. 


COLD FLOORS “re... Bee 


Uninsutatep Hovssz: 


The heat passes through the ceilings, 
into the attic, and out through the roof. 


Advantages 

Insulex is fire-, vermin- and decay-proof and does not dis- 
integrate in any way with time or moisture. Composed entire- 
ly of mineral matter, it cannot decay; being of a refractory 
nature it cannot burn. Insulex is not of vegetable or animal] 
origin, consequently will not harbor or attract vermin or ro- 
dents. These advantages, together with its ease and low cost 
of application, make Insulex attractive. Insulex does not 
require any skilled labor or expensive equipment to apply. 
It bonds perfectly with concrete and other structural mate- 
rials. It can be installed in old as well as new buildings. 

When poured in place, Insulex 
expands and flows easily into the 
smallest crevices and _ cracks 
and it clings tightly to all 
joists and studdings, thus effec- 
tively sealing the structure from 
heat losses through uninsulated 
cracks, 


Summer Comfort and 
Winter Savings 


These two desirable qualities 
in any home can best be had by 
Insulex. Homes insulated with 
Insulex are warmest in winter 
because there is a more uniform 
heating of rooms. Rooms heat 
quicker and retain the heat long- 
er. Drafts are eliminated and 
floors made warmer. In homes insulated with Insulex, 
hard to heat rooms are not known. In summer Insulex 
makes your home more comfortable because it excludes out- 
side summer heat, thus improving health and living condi- 
tions. Insulex can be easily and economically applied to old 
houses. The cost of its application in an old house will be 
saved in fuel within two years. In new houses, the saving 
it effects in cost of construction and saving in reduced boiler 
capacity and radiation, will frequently offset the original 
cost of installing Insulex. 


Further Information 

We have standard drawings and specifications for the use 
of Insulex printed in loose-leaf pamphlet form suitable for 
filing or reference. We will gladly furnish these upon appli- 
cation. We also have well equipped engineering staffs who 
will be glad to go into the solution of your problem if it 
involves insulation or sound deadening.

PYROCELL, The Fireproof Insulation: 


New Insulating Efficiency: Pyrocell sets a 
new standard in building insulation because it 
combines unequalled heat, cold, and sound in- 
sulation and fire protection in one material at 
a cost no greater than that of ordinary insu- 
lation. 


What Pyrocell Is: Pyrocell is a gypsum material 
ground to an extremely fine powder. When water is 
added a gas is formed which expands the mixture to 
three or four times its original bulk and produces 
myriads of tiny air cells, each surrounded by a wall 
of gypsum. As the formula used in the manufacture 
of Pyrocell assures a uniform release of gas, the air 
cells are uniform in size and the cell walls are thick 
and strong. 


The Ideal Insulator: Pyrocell offers the highest 
obtainable insulating efficiency because it combines 
both of the requirements of the ideal insulating ma- 
terial—dead air cells confined in a material which 
will not itself readily transmit heat. Gypsum is one 
of the best natural insulators. 


Where To Use Pyrocell: Pyrocell should be used 
wherever insulation against heat, cold, or sound is 
desired. Among its many uses the following are im- 
portant. (1) As insulation and fire protection be- 
tween wooden studs or joists. (2) As a sound dead- 
ener, insulator, and fire protection in floors and 
partitions. (8) In fireproof construction, as a fill 
between screeds in floors instead of cinder fill. (4)

fill on conerete roof decks. (6) For insulation 
and fire protection on roofs. 


How to Use Pyrocell: Pyrocell is easy and 
economical to use. It can be mixed and ap- 
plied by unskilled labor and requires no spec- 

ial equipment. The material is packed in 80-pound 
paper bags and is ready for use with the addition 
of water in the approximate proportion of two parts 
of Pyrocell to one part of water, by bulk. Just 
sufficient water should be used to give the material 
an easy flow. The Pyrocell should be added to the 
water at a single operation and must never be poured 
into the water slowly. Mix thoroughly and quickly 
until all lumps disappear and pour the mixture at 
once. Specifications and directions are printed on 
each bag. 


When properly mixed, Pyrocell can be poured 
between floor, ceiling, or roof joists; between studs or 
into insulation spaces 
in stone, brick, or tile 
walls. It may also 
be poured into 
moulds and laid up 
like tile between wall 
studs. Joints can be 
permanently sealed 
by wiping with the 
wet mixture. 


Pyrocell adheres to 
any surface, makes tight 
joints, and offers no 
opportunity for heat 
leakage or sound transmission. It can be poured into cor- 
ners that cannot be protected with other types of insulation. 


Enlarged Section of Pyrocell Show- 
ing Air Cells Surrounded by 
Gypsum 


Fireproof, Sound Resisting, and Light in Weight: Pyrocell 
cannot burn and it acts as an effective fire stop. It reduces 
sound transmission to a minimum because it combines the 
natural sound deadening qualities of gypsum with the added 
effectiveness of dead air cells. 


As (No. 24) Terra Cotta Pyrocell weighs only about one- 
sixth as much as concrete, structural loads can be reduced by 
using Pyrocell as a fill instead of cinder concrete. Pyrocell 
is preferable, also, because it can be more easily handled and 
more quickly applied. 


A Weight for Every Purpose: Pyrocell is furnished in four 
weights to meet the varying requirements of its different uses. 
For the convenience and protection of users each weight is 
colored differently. 


Write for Specifications: Complete information and speci- 
fications for the use of Pyrocell will be sent upon request.

THE AMERICAN GYPSUM COMPANY 
Plant and General Offices: Port Clinton, Ohio 


Product: 


WHITE ROCK is a fireproof wall board offering 
numerous possibilities for economical wall and eeil- 
ing construction. It is made of white gypsum rock, 
hence the name White Rock. 


Advantages: 


Fireproof—Since this wall board is really rock it cannot burn 
—not only is it non-burnable itself but it prevents the spread 
of fire. Consequently, White Rock means a real protection 
for the home or any structure where it is used. Even under 
severe heat it does not warp or spoil. 

Non-Shrinking—Just as rock does not shrink so White Rock 
cannot shrink because it is rock. Joints (spaces between 
boards where they join) will never ‘‘open up’’ by the boards 
pulling apart. These joints are filled with a joint filler—a 
supply of which accompanies each order for White Rock—and 
nailing strips are not required.

Framework—Be sure to space studs 16 inches on 
centers. See that they are straight and level. Place 


ma 


headers so that all sides and ends of boards can be Strong—Durable 
Economical 


nailed. 


Sawing—Use a common hand saw. Support board 
close to sawing edge. 


Nailing—Use 3-penny countersunk or fine flathead 
nails, preferably coated or galvanized, driven straight 
in, heads flush with surface. Be sure to space nails 
on intermediate supports 6 inches apart on ceilings, 
9 inches apart on walls, then at all sides and ends, 
space nails 3 inches apart and % inch from edge. 


Edges—of White Rock should be 14 inch apart. First 
nail side at joining, then nail to first intermediate 
stud or joist, then to second intermediate stud or 
joist, then nail side away from joining, then nail ends. 


Ceilings—Erect ceilings first. Tack a strip of wood 
along the top of studs, 14 inch from ceilings, to hold 
edge of board. A ‘‘T’’ made of 2x8’s will help hold 
White Rock in place on ceiling while nailing. If 
eross joints are necessary see that they are broken. 


Walls—Apply White Rock full length up and down. 
Begin at the corners and work to openings. Use a 
pry to lift the Board flush with the ceilings. Fill 
spaces above and below windows last, using cut pieces. 


Fill—F ill space between edges with the specially pre- 
pared White Rock joint filler—this will form a 
smooth, unbroken surface. No nailing strips re- 
quired. 


Decorating—Rough Finish, Paint, Calcimine or Wallpaper can 
be used. With White Rock as a base decorative effects of 
rare beauty (rough texture finish) can be had For painting 
and caleimining, White Rock forms a perfectly smooth sur- 
face. The contraction of wall paper when drying will not 
warp this Plaster Wall Board.

Its Application. 


Beaver ‘“Bestwall” is merely nailed to studs 
and joists, the joints filled with plaster and 
painted or papered. It can easily be cut by 
scoring and breaking, or by sawing. It is 
nailed on all edges, headers being provided 
in the framing for the ends, with 3rd flat 
head nails placed at intervals of about 6 in. 
It is nailed to the center supports about 
every 12 inches. Plaster for filling is furnished and 
this is quickly used to fill joints and holes over 
countersunk center nails. Painting or papering is 
next and then the job is done, without fear of 
failure and with no muss or litter. 


Superior Advantages. 


Beaver “Bestwall”’ gives a plaster 
wall of pre-set rock like gypsum, 
always mixed right under proper con- 
ditions and supervision; saves time in 
delay ; will not crack or fall and once 
up it is a durable and permanent con- 


correctly set and rightly mixed, high struction. 
quality gypsum rock plaster impreg- a . :

rest of the house. It has withstood the 
most severe tests of the National Board 
of Fire Underwriters and it is approved 
for use within the fire limits of the 
larger cities. 


Sound Retarder and Heat Insulator: It 
is an exceptional retarder of sound, a 
very good insulator against heat or 
cold, and is also proof against moisture 
and dampness.

BESTWALL—Continued. 


Test and Compare. 


Get a piece of “Bestwall’ from your dealer. Dig 
into its gypsum plaster core with a knife and see 
how rock-like it is. Break it if you can and note 
its great strength. ‘Try to tear off its fibre sur- 
facing. Soak it in water and note the freedom 
from swelling or other distortion. See how nicely 
it takes paint or paper. Turn a blow torch on it— 
it will not burn. Nail it down and test its nailing 
strength. Bestwall is sold on its merit—its su- 
perior quality—and it costs no more—give it every 
test—and compare.

VEHISOTE—An Interwoven Fibre Board 


Made by 


THE PANTASOTE COMPANY, Inc. 
249 Vanderbilt Ave., New York City 


TRADE MARK 


VEHISOTE. 


Different Forms of Vehisote 


Vehisote is a wood pulp material formed into a 
panel without layers or laminations, the fibres being 
run together, interlocking and interlacing making one 
solid mass without grain. It cannot split nor crack 
with the settling of a structure in which it is used 
and is not affected by vibration. 


Uses 


Vehisote panels for high class walls and ceilings, 
readily lend themselves to any paint finish and deco- 
ration. Vehisote Grainboards in mahogany and oak 
for high class panel effects, need only a coat of fin- 
ishing varnish after installation. WVehisote Tileboard 
for bathroom and kitchen walls, hospitals, laundries, 
ete., can be finished with high gloss enamel in any 
color desired on the job. 


Advantages 

Vehisote panels are in a class by themselves. The 
board has great resistance to moisture and usage and 
is remarkably permanent. The surface is of fine 
smooth texture and when painted is readily kept 
clean. 


Hundreds of thousands of delivery wagons in the 
highest type of delivery service are equipped with 
Vehisote side panels; for the years have proved that 
it can successfully stand the vibration and weaving 
of the vehicle, cold, heat, rain and sleet; maintain- 
ing that lasting finish demanded to show to full ad- 
vantage the rich art work with which such ears are 


Thirty Days Under Water and Still in Perfect Con- 
dition 
In 1911 the steamship ‘‘Madison’’ of the Old Do- 
minion Line sank off Newport News, and was sub- 
merged for thirty days. 


When raised and towed to dry dock, the joiner 
work was no longer serviceable but the panels of 
Vehisote, used throughout the passenger quarters 
were in such excellent condition that they were at 
once reinstalled in the vessel, and are still gwing *¢€ 
most useful kind of service. 


Vehisote Grainboard 


Vehisote carries with it all the unexcelled qualities men- 
tioned above. This board is the most perfect imitation of 
fine mahogany and oak finish and is obtainable in the uniform 
width of 4 feet and heights up to 14 feet, 5/16 inch thick. 
The product as it comes from the mill is grained and already 
has a color coat, requiring only a finishing coat of varnish 
after installation. Its appearance is vastly superior to any 
but the most expensive class of veneer and it has no layers 
which ean separate under the changing conditions of summer 
dampness or winter heating plants. 


Vehisote Tileboard 


Simulating in appearance the finest tiling job, this board 
will not crack with the settling of a structure nor will it chip. 
It is the most sanitary type of wall covering for bathrooms, 
doctors’ quarters, etce., and its imperviousness to steam and 
water in all forms makes it the leading product for this use.

Plastergon Wood Fiber Wall Board 


Made by 


THE PLASTERGON WALL BOARD COMPANY 


Philadelphia Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. 


Products 

This company makes a superior grade of Wall 
Board known as PLASTERGON. This is made in 
two styles—plain surfaced for use in living rooms, 
dining rooms, bedrooms and for all general purposes; 
and embossed with a tile pattern for use in bathrooms, 
kitchens, laundries, or wherever tile is appropriate. 


A High Grade Wood Fiber Board 


Plastergon is a high grade man-made lumber, made 
from virgin spruce fiber by first shredding the logs, 
then strengthening the fibers in a chemical bath and 
finally matting the fibers, under pressure, into com- 
pact sheets or ‘‘plis.’’ 


Four of these plies are cemented together to form 
a rigid, flawless board, smooth and even, and free 
from knots, cracks, seams or other blemishes found in 
natural lumber. This laminated construction results 
in a board of great strength and rigidity—a board 
that resists warping and twisting yet is light in weight 
and easy to handle. 


Made Moisture Resisting at the Factory 


Plastergon is not only well made but is finished well. 
Both sides of every panel are surface sized and sealed 
at the factory by a protective varnish coating that 
holds the board to a definite moisture content prevents 
absorption of moisture from the air, and eliminates 
the priming coat so that board is ready for the finish 
coat of paint as soon as it is nailed to the wall. 


A Beautiful and Enduring Wall Finish 


Plastergon is nailed to the studding in new build- 
ings and can be applied over old plaster walls in 


A Living Room Finished with Plastergon Wood Wall Board 


buildings that are being remodeled or redecorated. 
It is used for covering both walls and ceilings and 
when finished in soft tones to harmonize with the 
decorations it makes a charming room. Its smooth 
mat surface cannot chip or crack and a wall or ceiling 
of Plastergon will last as long as the building itself. 


It has been called ‘‘the Board for better results’’— 
cheap enough to be used in attic, basement or garage 
ana beautiful enough to be used in the finest room in 
the house. 


Easy and Inexpensive to Install 


Labor costs for finishing walls and ceilings are 
reduced to the minimum when Plastergon is used. A 
saw and hammer are the only tools required and a 
workman can cut the big panels to measure and nail 
them in place very quickly. 


Lengths and Widths 


Plastergon Wall Board comes in 32-inch and 
48-inch widths and in even foot lengths from 6 to 
16 feet. 


Plastergon Tile Board comes in strips 4 feet high 
and 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 feet long.

SHEETROCK, The Fireproof 
Wallboard 


A Rugged Construction: Sheet- 
rock is a gypsum wall and ceiling 
material in unit form, designed to 
be used in new construction and for 
remodeling and repairing. It is 
manufactured in sheets 32 or 48 
inches wide and 6 to 10 feet long, 
and consists of a %-inch gypsum 
core protected by a specially pre- 
pared fibre covering which is folded 
to form square, reinforced edges. 
This edge is patented and assures 
greater nailing strength and _ per- 
fectly fitting joints. Sheetrock is 
extremely strong and, when prop-

Plasters and Finishes, 97; 


erly applied, adds definite bracing strength to the 


building, 


Many Reasons for Using Sheetrock 


Fireproof: Sheetrock makes fire resistive walls 
and ceilings. It cannot burn, will not add fuel to 
fire, and, by confining flames to the space in which 
they originate, actually reduces the fire hazard. Each 
sheet bears the label of the Underwriters’ Labora- 
tories, Incorporated, who have tested Sheetrock for 
fire resistance and structural strength. 


Cannot Warp or Buckle: Because it is made 
of gypsum, Sheetrock cannot warp or buckle 
and is not affected by moisture or climatic con- 
ditions. For this reason the material is adapted 
to use in moist climates and in locations (cel- 
lars, creameries, etc.) where exposure to mois- 
ture is common. 


Takes Any Decoration: When joints and nailheads 
are concealed with Sheetrock Finisher, the Sheetrock 
wall offers a permanently smooth base suitable for 
any type of decoration—Textone, wallpaper, or paint. 
Panels are unnecessary but, if desired, may be used 
in any preferred design. 

Insulates: By a special manufacturing process the 
gypsum core of Sheetrock is composed of millions of 
tiny air cells. As dead air 


Bes Eh is one of the most effective 
{7 GIVES A STRONG “~N insulators known to science 


and as gypsum itself is an 
effective heat insulator, 
Sheetrock walls and ceilings 
keep objectionable heat out 
in summer and keeps build- 
ings comfortably warm in 
winter with less fuel con- 
sumption.

Sanitary: Sheetrock makes san- 
itary walls and ceilings because it 
will not harbor germs and vermin 
and its tight joints offer no lodging 
place for dirt. 


Easy to Erect: Sheetrock saws 
and nails lke lumber and can be 
applied directly to studs and joists 
or right over old construction. Be- 
cause of its ease of handling and 
the large size of the sheets, Sheet- 
rock can be rapidly erected. Its 
use, therefore, reduces construction 
time. 


Installation Is Simple: 


Sang and Cutting: Use a sharp hand saw. When 
sawing, place the board on a bench, trade mark side 
downward, and firmly support it close to the saw- 
ing edge. Cuts that are to be covered with trim can 
be made by scoring with a knife or chisel and break- 
ing over a straight edge. Bevel the cut edge on the 
face side with coarse sandpaper. Also bevel the mill 
cut ends before the board is nailed in place. 


Nailing: Use 3d cement coated common nails (flat heads). 
On old plastered walls that are not furred use 6d cement 
coated nails. Drive the nails home with the heads 
slightly below the surface. Do not use a nail set. Draw 
all edges of Sheetrock firmly and evenly against sup- 
ports. On all intermediate supports space nails 6 inches 
apart on ceilings and 9 inches apart on walls. On 
all sides and ends of boards space nails 3 inches apart 
and 84 of an inch from the edge—poth walls and ceil- 
ings. Do not stagger nails on joining edges. 

All four edges of Sheetrock must be nailed. First 
drive a few nails at the edge of the Sheetrock where it joins 
the board last applied; nail the first intermediate stud or 
joist; then nail the second intermediate stud or joist; then 
nail the edges and, finally, the 
ends. NAIL FROM THE CEN- 
TRE OF THE BOARD TO- 
WARD EACH END. 


Sheetrock Finisher: Sheet- 
rock Finisher is a specially pre- 
pared material to be used in fill- 
ing the joints and nailheads in 
Sheetrock walls. It is ready for 
use with the addition of water 
and may be applied with the 
special Finisher Knife or with 
an ordinary putty knife. 


Sheetrock Finisher will not 
erack or pull away at the edges 
when it hardens, and assures 
smooth, permanent walls suitable 
for any type of decoration.

continuous wall of rock that cannot warp, crack or 
bulge. 


Sizes 


Gypsolite is made in lengths of 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 feet; 
width, 48 inches, thickness 3g inch. Samples will be 
sent on request. 


TRADE MARK 


inherent strength of Gypsolite facilitates 
its ease in handling as well as application. 
It saws and nails as easily as lumber with a minimum 
breakage and no crumbling of the edges. 


Highly Fire Resisting 


Gypsolite is fire-proof, vermin-proof, and highly heat, 
cold and sound resisting. Rooms built with Gypsolite 
walls and ceilings are cooler in summer and warmer in 
winter. 


Decorating 


With its smooth, hard surface, Gypsolite lends itself 
readily to all types of interior decoration, such as wall 
paper, canvas, paint calcimine, ete. 


For Construction or Improvements 


Gypsolite is equally useful for new construction or 
improvements. A few uses are: attics, partitions, sun 
parlors, dairies, summer cottages, etc. 


Gypsolite Finisher 


This is a special preparation for filling joints and 
covering nailheads when Gypsolite is to be finished 
without paneling. Comes in powdered form and when 
mixed with water forms a putty cement which is easily 
and quickly applied. Put up in 5 pound containers.

GYP-LAP, The Fireproof Sheathing 


Four Materials in One: Gyp- 
Lap is a gypsum sheathing ma- 
terial with exclusive advantages 
which recommend its use to con- 
tractors and home owners. In 
addition to providing unequalled 
sheathing efficiency, Gyp-Lap 
acts aS a fire stop, insulates 
against heat and cold, adds 
strength to the building and 
eliminates the use of building 
paper. It is used as a backing 
for siding, brick or stone veneer 
and stucco. 


entire building and gives greater resis- 
tance to racking and wind stresses. 


Interlocking Edges: Each section of 
Gyp-Lap has patented edges which 
interlock perfectly with the adjoining 
sheets and make wind tight, vermin- 
proof joints. The use of building paper 
is unnecessary with Gyp-Lap. 


Fireproof, Insulating, Water Resis- 
tive: Gyp-Lap cannot burn and it 
acts as an effective fire-stop. Because 
it is made of gypsum rock, one of the 
best natural insulators, Gyp-Lap re- 
sists the passage of heat—keeps build- 
ings cool in summer and reduces fuel 
consumption in winter. It also resists 
sound transmission and should be used 
between floors as well as in walls and 
under roofs.

sheets one-half inch thick and eight GyP-Lap,Applied to Studding, Notice = ‘The covering of Gyp-Lap is specially

“Ss The Fibre Board with the 


Famous Blue Center 


UPSON (Processed) BOARD 


Made by 


THE UPSON COMPANY 


Lockport, New York 


ag 
The Nearest-Perfect Wall “4 
and Ceiling Material 


UPSON BOARD IS DIFFERENT 


No matter what your past experience with wallboards, 
this dependable material will win your approval 
in scores of ways. 


Harder, Stiffer, Stronger! 


‘You never realize the real possibilities of a good 
fibre wallboard until you try dependable Upson 
Board.’’ 


Dozens of letter in Upson Files—from builder, 
architects, home owners—bear out this statement. 


Upson Board is different. As an illustration, seven 
men weighing over 1,000 pounds can be supported on 
a single panel of Upson Board, whereas under the 
same test, a panel of gypsum-filled board breaks with 
less than one-third the weight. 


Resists Moisture 


In another conclusive test, Upson 
Board immersed in water for a given 
length of time gained only one-fourth 
as much weight as a sample of gyp- 
sum-filled board exposed to the same 
test. Other fibre wallboards tested 
in the same way were found to absorb 
nearly twice as much water as Upson 
Board. 


Resists Fire 


Dozens of letters in Upson 
files prove that Upson Board 
walls and ceilings retard the 
progress of fire. Upson Board 
chars rather than burns. 


Resists Heat and Cold 


Other certified tests proved 
Upson Board a better non-con- 
ductor of heat and cold—cooler 
in summer and warmer in win- 
ter. The closely meshed wood 
fibres of Upson Board form mil- 
lions of dead air pockets, the 
most efficient insulation against 
any type of climatic condition. 


Resists Jars and Blows 


In another certified test by an 
impartial laboratory, weights were 
dropped from several heights upon 
specimens of different wall materials. 
Upson Board withstood an impact of 
40% to 70% more than the other fibre 
wallboards tested, and nearly 150% 
more than plaster-filled boards twice as 
thick. Jars and blows that would ruin ordinary plas- 
ter walls have little or no effect on Upson Boards. 


Resists Time 


Experience proves the long life of 
Upson Board. Properly applied, it 
should never warp or bulge and should 
lie flat on the wall as long as the build- 
ing stands. 

Its adaptability to every condition 
recommends it for constant considera- 
tion by builder or architect. 


SPECIFICATIONS

A few simple pre- 
cautions that insure 
a permanently beau- 
tiful job. 


The big panels of Upson Board are so light in 
weight that one man can apply them. In remodeling, 
they are nailed right over the old plaster and furring 
strips. In new construction, they are applied direct 
to studs and joists. 


First Preparation 


Plan your panel arrangement first. Write The Upson 
Company for helpful blue print and suggestions. 
Then level up all joints and studs to form a perfectly 
flat and smooth nailing surface. Be sure to place 
headers or nailing pieces at top of baseboard flush 
with studs, back of plate rail or picture mouldings, 
and at angle of ceiling. 


In applying the Upson Board panels, apply the 
ceilings first. Do not butt the panel edges. Leave 
3/16 inch space between. 


Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners on intermediate 
studs eliminate disfiguring nail marks. Nail panel 
edges as per Upson direction sheets. 


Paint Before Applying Strips 


Upson Board should be painted before the decora- 
tive strips are applied. Otherwise, if the trim shrinks 
slightly, it may leave a white edge where the wall- 
board has not been painted. 


Do not cover Upson Board with wallpaper. Finish 
it with an attractive shade of any good flat wall paint. 


Apply Strips to Suit Plan 


Many otherwise beautiful Upson Board jobs have 
been ruined by unsuitable wood trim. Apply beams 
and mouldings to harmonize with the character of the 
job. The Upson Design Department will gladly give 
you helpful practical suggestions. 


Furring Strips Over Old Walls 


When Upson Board is applied to brick, stone or 
other walls which may contain moisture, furring 
should be nailed so that each panel can be securely 
fastened to it. Uneven plastered ceilings should also 
be furred. 


Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners, patented, invisibly 
and securely anchor the center of Upson Board panels 


Note the beautiful pan- 
eled ceiling and walls of

interiors are fitting

beauty by the finest of interiors to be found anywhere. 


Answers Every Wallboard Question 
Every builder knows the perplexing problems that 


come up constantly in the good application of wall- 
board. 


‘“Hfow shall I treat the trim around doors and win- 
dows, when Upson Board is applied direct to the studs 
and window and door casings are made to be used 
with plaster?’’ 


‘How shall I treat the baseboard when Upson 
Board is applied direct over old plaster and the old 
base is not removed?’’ 


‘‘What is the proper method to use when Upson 
Board is applied direct over old lath from which the 
plaster has been removed ?’’

Attractiveness: 


A roof of Imperial Shale Tiles 
can be constructed to harmonize 
with any type of dwelling. Their 
rich, warm colorings and_ pleas- 
ing play of lights and shadows 
add to the beauty of any home. 
No other type of roofing can 
truthfully imitate the variegated 
color effects that hard-burned 


No Heavier Under-Construction 
Necessary: 


Tile roofing does not require 
much heavier underconstruction 
than other roofing materials— 
2x6-inch wood rafters, such as 
are used for ordinary residence 
construction, have _ sufficient 
strength to support tile roofing 
when spaced not more than 16 
inches on centers. 


Advantages of Imperial Tile 
Roofing: 


The first cost is its only cost. 
No paint or stain is needed to 
retain its original beauty. Ex- 
amples of their everlasting 
quality is seen on every hand. 
European cities abound with 
structures protected for centuries

Many Shapes, Shades and Textures: 


In addition to the four standard shapes shown below, there 
is an almost unlimited variety of shapes, shades and textures 
that readily lend themselves to distinctive roofing effects. 


Imperial Spanish Tiles: Are particularly adapted to those 
styles of architecture that add so much to the picturesqueness 
of Southern Europe, from the massive buildings of classical 
form to the small bungalows where romatic or unusual effects 
are sought. Tiles are formed with a lip-and-lap lock that 
provides positive potection from the wheather. Length 1314 
inches; Width 9%4 inches; average exposure 814x101 inches; 
average pieces per square 171; actual weight per square 950 
pounds; shipping weight per square, with fittings, 1050 pounds. 


Imperial Closed Shingle Tiles: A pattern widely used to 
carry out the idea of Colonial or Early English architecture. 
Has a tongue-and-groove lock and is far superior in actual 
strength to the ordinary flat shingle. In depth of reveal it 
aecentuates the horizontal line, avoiding the monotonous effect 
of other flat roofing material. Length 11 inches; width 8%

Anaconda-Flintkote COPPERCLAD Strip Shingles 


They Are Enduring in Quality 


Copperclad is an extra heavy weight asphalt 

shingle with a wearing surface of copper 
99.99% pure. Copper is recognized as the 
finest roofing material known. It is the 
long lived roofing material—time and weather 
have no deteriorating effect upon it. The 
copper covering strengthens and stiffens the 
shingle so that the possibilities of curling 
or of blowing up in heavy winds are 
eliminated. The result is a shingle of long 
life and adequate rigidity. 


They Are Fire Resisting 


Copperclad has been awarded the highest 
rating, Class A, by the Fire Underwriters 
Laboratories. It has successfully withstood 
the most rigid tests under all conditions of 
heat and cold. 


They Are Beautiful 

Copperclad is noted for its beauty as well as its enduring 
qualities. The color effect is ever changing—no two roofs 
are alike. The soft blending tones of jade and blue give 
eolor combinations much sought by the architect and con- 
tractor. 


They Are Easy to Apply 


Made in the popular strip shingle form they are easily 
and quickly applied, and the cost of application is cor- 
respondingly low. No special roof construction or supports 
are necessary, for Copperclad are light in weight (average 
weight 250 lbs. per square) as compared to other roofings 
as permanent and enduring in character and quality. Apply 
only with copper nails. 


REX FLINTKOTE Gra STRIP SHINGLES 


Only in the making of strip shingles, 
because of their width, has it been 
found possible to so blend and diffuse a 
variety of colors, that when once applied 
on the roof there is a complete avoidance 
of sharp color contrasts, of color pattern, 
splotches of color or ziz-zag streaks of 
color. 


Colordrift, although widely copied, have 
not yet been equalled in color warmth, 
their beauty is unrivalled. The perfect 
blending of a variety of harmonious colors 
in a Colordrift roof, adds a wealth of 
charm and beauty to any well designed 
home. 


All types of Rex Flintkote Strip Shingles 
are available in the Colordrift finish. 
They are applied just as they come in the 
package, there are no color charts to fol- 
low there is no sorting or mixing on the 
job.

THE PROOF OF THE SHINGLE IS IN ITS APPLICATION 


A shingle may be perfect from the standpoint of 
its waterproofing qualities and beautiful appearance, 
but unless it can be laid easily, quickly, safely, and 
economically, its sale will not survive. It is the ap- 
plication of the shingle that is the test of its prac- 
ticability. 


Strip Shingles have met the test—and not only sur- 
vived, but flourished. Each year their sale has in- 


creased, and today they are easily outselling any other 
type of shingle. As many are now sold in one month, 
as were formerly sold in a whole year. : 

Their popularity with all classes of builders has been 
well deserved for they are easily and quickly applied; 
to apply them right is easier than to apply them wrong; 
they are cheaper to apply than any other type of shingle, 
and they are applied in overlapping units, the only 
dependable and absolutely safe way. 


Rex Flintlote GIANT Strip Shingles 


The biggest, thickest, stiffest asphalt strip shingle ever made. 
Once applied they lay like slate or tile—they are so heavy and 
stiff that they will not blow up in the mind. Compare them 
with any standard weight asphalt shingle; the comparison will 
prove they are truly Giants in every respect—Giants in quality, 
value, and durability, as well as weight, thickness, and size. 
Colors: Red, Green, Blue-Black, and beautiful Colordrift,

Rex Flintkote 1214” Strip Shingles 


A super-safe roof. These shingles are 1214” deep, and are 
laid with 4” exposure to the weather. Every contractor knows 
the advantage of such a shingle over Individuals. They are 
really four Individual Shingles combined into one strip—and 
as a result they are easier and cheaper to apply—they are safer 
too. Colors—red, green, blue-black and beautiful Colordritt. 


Rex Flintkote 10” Strip Shingles 


Tested by years of splendid service they have proved to be 
absolutely reliable, dependable, and economical. They are the 
most widely used and popular of all asphalt shingles. Colors: 
Red, Green, Blue-Black, and beautiful Colordrift. 


Rex Flintkote Hextab Strip Shingles 


A distinct improvement over other types of hexagonal 
asphalt shingles. They have been designed to meet the 
demand for an economically priced shingle of most attrac- 
tive pattern. The cut-outs in the shingle form deep shadow 
lines up and down the roof, breaking up the diagonal lines— 
the result is a most pleasing effect. The tab centers right 
over the top of the cut-out providing a self-aligning feature 
which makes it the fastest laying strip shingle. Colors— 
red, green, blue-black and beautiful Colordrift.

We conscientiously state that K-B Sheathing is 
the best Sheathing Paper on the market today. 
It is a single sheet of paper with a continuous 
sheet of asphalt laid between the liners of the 
paper when it is made. This sheet of pure asphalt 
naturally forms a barrier against the passage of 
water. It repels vermin and resists heat and cold. 
These insulating qualities are found only in their 
maximum degree in K-B Sheathing, and K-B 
Sheathing retains these much desired insulating 
qualities. It is also odorless, sanitary, durable 
and economical. It has unusual tensile strength. 
Because it costs so very little, it is the most profit- 
able investment for long time protection. To sheathe and insulate 
the average home with K-B will not add materially to the 
original cost of the home—an investment that will pay dividends 
during the life of the house. Use K-B Sheathing all over the house. 
It is light red in color—flexible to handle. Made in four weights— 
20, 25, 30 and 40 lbs. per roll of approximately 500 square feet.

NU-TILE ASPHALT SHINGLES tii never cris 


Made by 
AMALGAMATED ROOFING CO. 


Executive Offices: 431 South Dearborn St., Chicago 


Factories at Clearing, Illinois 


Why NU-TILE Never Curls 

All asphalt shingles le flat on the roof—at first. 
But when the heat of summer evaporates the com- 
pound with which they are saturated, a poorly made 
shingle begins to curl. <A shingle that curls is a 
shingle that has dried out—that is the long and short 
of it. Prevent it from drying out and you prevent 
the shingle from curling. 

Several things are necessary in order to make an 
asphalt shingle that will not dry out and as these 
mean more expense and trouble for the manufacturer 
they are sometimes neglected. 

First you must have a sound, felt base—an all rag 
left. Then ycu must have a saturating compound 
that shows no tendency to evaporate. And lastly (we 
speak from long experience) you must coat not one 
side of the shingle, or roofing, but both sides. 

Contrary to popular belief, shingles deteriorate 
more rapidly from below than from above. Hence 
the need of giving the same careful attention to the 
under side that is given to the surface exposed to 
the weather. 

This is the method by which NU-TILE Shingles 
are made and although they are extensively used in 
Florida and other parts of the South, not a single 
ease of curling has ever been brought to our atten- 
tion. 

Our guarantee that these shingles will not dry 
out nor curl is based on 10 years’ experience with 
them under all climatic conditions. 


NU-TILE Means Best Roofing Value 

There is no handsomer roof than one made of 
NU-TILE Asphalt Shingles. It has a permanent and 
beautiful coloring, due to the fact that no artificial 
coloring is used but only such tints as Mother Na- 
ture provides from her inexhaustible storehouse of 
minerals. The Red, Green, Blue-Black, White and 
Golden Buff of NU-TILE Asphalt Shingles, and the 
Sea Green, Tile Red Blend, Golden Buff, Purple- 
Bronze and Violet of NU-TILE Tapestry Shingles 
are obtained without the use of dyes or chemicals of 
any kind, by using selected rocks, gravel and vitrified 
tile and porcelain which give the colors desired, either 
when used singly or in combination with materials 
of a different color.

NU-TILE TAPESTRY SHINGLES 
The Durable Roof Beautiful 


NU-TILE Tapestry Shingles (illustrated on 
opposite page) are the last word in artistic roof 
coverings. 


After years of intensive research and experiment, 
we are now producing not only wonderfully artistic 
effects, but, as a result of exhaustive tests, a wear- 
ing quality unequalled anywhere. Through actual 
use on the roof, we have demonstrated emphatically 
the durability and beauty of our NU-TILE Tapestry 
Shingle. Scientifically treated granules, carefully 
weighed and blended before being spread upon the 
mastic with which we surface our shingles, create that 
artistic and permanent workmanship so keenly appre- 
ciated by home builders. 


All the mineral grits used by us in producing our 
vari-colored effects have been tested for many years 
by actual exposure on roofs. It is this superiority in 
texture, both as to durability in wear and permanence 
in colors that has given our Asphalt Shingles their 
tremendous popularity. While very good roof results 
may be secured through the use of the combinations 
in fixed design, it has been found that the most artistic 
effects are to be obtained through the avoidance of 
any definite plan or pattern in putting on our shingles.

You will never appreciate the full beauty of NU- 
TILE Asphalt Shingles, or NU-TILE Tapestry 
Shingles until you have seen them with your own

Products 
ETERNIT ASBESTOS 
SHINGLES — An _ abso- 


lutely fire-proof and 
practically indestructi- 
ble roofing shingle made 
cf Portland Cement and 
asbestos fibre, adaptable 
to all kinds of building 
construction where shin- 
ele roofing or siding is 
required from farm 
buildings, barns, gar- 


they are on the roof. 
Shipments are made in 
crates to avoid damage 
to the shingles or lum- 
ber while in transit. 


Advantages 


ErEerRNIT ASBESTOS 
SHINGLES make a roof 
that is proof against all 
weather conditions and 
one that will stay that 
way. They add to the 


; attractiveness of any 
fades, ASBESTOS SHINGLES nteing. ‘they are pos. 


EtTrerNit ASBESTOS 
LUMBER is made of the 
same materials as the 
shingles but furnished 
in large sheets. Adapt- 
able for either interior 
or exterior construction 
work and _ particularly 
for siding, partitions, 
ete. It is a non-conduc- 
tor of electricity and, 
therefore, useful in con- 
struction work where 
insulation is necessary. 


Materials and 
Construction 


ETERNIT ASBESTOS 
SHINGLES are “‘built 
up’’ from the best 
grade of Portland Ce- 
ment and South Afri- 3 
can Asbestos Fibre. Authorities agree that this par- 
ticular fibre is the best for shingle construction on 
account of its exceptional length and exceeding 
toughness. It is also tale-free which permits the ce- 
ment to adhere more closely to it. 

Layer upon layer of close-knit, interwoven fibres 
that mat into a perfect framework of reinforcement 
are formed by ingenious machines. The fibres are 
thoroughly impregnated with Portland Cement and 
then subjected to tremendous hydraulic pressure 
which welds the clinging, cement-surrounded fibres 
into a solid, stone-like, impenetrable mass—stone that 
is given hardness and body by the cement, and is 
reinforced and given non-chipping, non-cracking re- 
siliency by its twisted layers of long, tough, sinewy 
asbestos fibres. These laminated shingles are much 
stronger than the ordinary moulded shingle. 


Thoroughly Seasoned 

Then follows a seasoning period of several months 
which insures a shingle that will he flat under all 
conditions and that will not develop defects after 


tively fire-proof. There 
is no cost for upkeep as 
they require no atten- 
tion when properly ap- 
plied. 

Frost cannot crack 
them nor blazing sun 
warp them. The insu- 
lating qualities of as- 
bestos 1s a barrier 
against both heat and 
eold. Their rigidity 
keeps them from blow- 
ing up in the strongest 
wind. 


Colors 

All colors are solid 
throughout the shingle, 
being mixed in the ma- 
terial, and not merely 
veneered cn the surface. 

Colonial Gray—a bright, clean color that lends a 
look of neatness and cheerfulness to the whole build- 
ing. 

Indian Red—a soft, rich shade that harmonizes 
with almost any color scheme. 

Quarry Blue—giving the subdued, dignified ap- 
pearance of natural slate. 

Autumn Brown—with its varied hues ranging from 
a bright copper to a deep chocolate, giving the beauty 
of an Autumn landscape and the richness of a fine 
tapestry. 

Green—a beautiful and popular color. 


FF 


Styles and Sizes 


Both the American method shingles which are laid 
straight in a manner similar to natural slate, and 
the French method shingles which are laid diagonally 
—honeycomb effect—are furnished in two sizes.

ETERNIT ASBESTOS SHINGLES— (Continued) 


For Re-Roofing 


ETeRNIT Shingles can be laid economically and 
conveniently right over old shingles, which does away 
with the expense and litter of removing the old roof. 
The double thickness of Erernir and wooden shingles 
gives added protection against heat and cold. Be- 
cause HErrernir Shingles are rigid and sturdy they 
lie flat and tight over the inequalities of an old roof, 
making a smooth, new surface that gives everlasting 


weather-tight protection. 
How to Apply 


Preparation of roof: Sheathing boards should be 


dry and well seasoned. 


Surface smooth and free from projecting nail 


heads. 


Apply 1 in. x 2 in. furring strip with 1 in. face up 


along hip and ridges. 


Hip strips shall overhang gutter facia 1 in. 
Lay %4-in. x %-in. lath as a cant strip along edge 


of roof boards at eaves. 


Cover sheathing with asphalt saturated asbestos 
Leave 4-in. hori- 
zontal laps and 12-in. laps at hips and ridge. 


felt weighing 14 lbs. per square. 


The French Method Shingle 


French Method 


Draw horizontal chalk line 3 in. up roof 
parallel with eaves. Apply 4 in. x 16 in. 
starters with upper edge resting on chalk 
line and lower edge projecting 1 in. below 
roof board. 


Draw vertical center line from eave to 
ridge. Apply triangular second starter on 
each side of this center line with lower edge 
flush with lower edge of first starter which 
it entirely covers. Insert copper storm nail 
with shank upstanding through hole formed 
by notches in sides of triangular starters. 
Apply starters in similar manner to each 
end of roof. 


Start first course of shingles by laying 
a full shingle at center line so that the hole 
in the lower corner receives upstanding 
shank of copper nail and top corner rests 
on center line. Fasten shingle with -nails 
through the other two holes, so that shingle 
rests firmly, but not too tightly, on pre- 
ceding course. Proceed towards end of 
roof inserting copper storm nails as in case 
of starters. Nail holes are arranged to 
insure proper lap and help alignment. 
Shingle is laid so that diagonal lines are 
on a 40-degree angle with the eaves. Press 
lower corner of each shingle down firmly 
and bend shank of copper nail downward. 
Proceed with application of full sized shin- 
gles on balance of roof. 


Where dormers occur, care must be taken 
to insure perfect alignment of courses on 
each side so that intersection of course 
above dormers will be perfect. To insure 
this, draw a chalk line parallel to eaves 
above top of dormer. After applying each 
two or three courses alongside of dormer 
measure the distance from the lower points 
of last course laid to the gauge line. The 
distance on each side of dormer must be 
equal.: 


Importance of Nails 


As soon as the nails are gone, 
the finest shingles are wasted. 

Common iron nails’ should 
never be used as they rust 
away rapidly. 

Galvanized nails have better 
rust-resisting qualities but cop- 
per nails are best because they 
are absolutely rust-proof. 
While copper nails cost a little 
more, they are more than 
worth the difference because 
they add years to the life of a 
roof, 


™ 


Application of Ridge Roll 


The American Method Shingle 


American Method 


Lay one course of shingles horizontally 
along eave, with lower edge overhanging 
1 in. below roof boards. Apply first course 
of shingles for main body of roof, arrang- 
ing shingles vertically with lower edge flush 
with lower edge of starting course which 
is entirely covered. Break all joints. Pro- 
ceed as with slate, exposing 7 in. to the 
weather and fasten shingles firmly but not 
too tightly with two nails in each shingle. 
Where the special %4-in. thick shingle is 
used expose 8 in. to weather instead of 7 in. 


Ridges and Hips 


This is the last operation in finishing the 
roof. On the ridge start at end of building 
away from quarter where severest storms 
usually come. On dormers work from face 
back toward main roof. On hips start at 
lower end. Ridge is shaped so that larger 
end of piece being avplied fits over smaller 
end of preceding piece. Nail a copper ridge 
roll clip at smaller end of each piece, driv- 
ing nails through into ridge pole. Larger 
end of next piece sets over this clip as far 
as upright strip, which is bent back over 
succeeding piece to hold it in place. Each 
piece of ridge pole is nailed fast at smaller 
upper end and held by clip at larger lower 
end. To close end of ridge pole cut a piece 
of shingle exact shape of open end and nail 
it to end of ridge pole. The Boston hip 
made of shingles is sometimes used instead 
of ridge pole. This is similar to method of 
covering hips with natural slate. ‘

SELF SPACING SHINGLES 


e € 


The Special Shoulder 
Seals the Slots 

There’s all the difference in the world be- 
tween the Vulcanite Self Spacing and any other 
individual shingle made. The special shoulder 
builds a double thick, completely sealed roof, 
making it impossible for weather to work into 
the roof boards. It makes spacing automatic, 
assuring a perfect roof pattern. Successfully 
withstands the attacks of fire and weather. Add 
to these advantages, the superior quality of 
the shingle itself and you have the reason for 
the exceptional protection and longer life of the 
Vuleanite Self Spacing Shingle. The standard 
size is 814x123, and it is supplied 102 shingles 
to the bundle, 4 bundles to the square, weight 
240 lbs. It is supplied surfaced in either red, 
green or blue crushed slate. 


Jumbo Size and Weight 


-The new jumbo size and weight added to the 
many special advantages of the Vulcanite Self 
Spacing provides a super shingle that cannot 
help but gain your praise. This new husky 
shingle measures 11” x 15”, means less shingles 


to lay, gives less joints and a better looking 


pattern from the ground. And it is thicker, 
tougher and heavier, too. See this extraordi- 
nary shingle before you purchase any roofing. 


The Beautiful Autumn Blend 


As to beauty, no roof approaches the natural 
effect of the Vulcanite Self Spacing Autumn 
Blend Shingle. It gives a roof of softly 
blended, glowing color. Each shingle is sur- 
faced with a remarkable blending of vari-col- 
ored crushed slate and there is an absence of 
checkerboard effect. 'This shingle, made only 
in jumbo size and weight will permanently 
beautify the home at but little more cost than 
for shingles of standard colors. See for your- 
self its real beauty and worthwhile advantages.

Winthrop Tapered Asphalt Shingles 


Manufactured by 
BECKMAN-DAWSON ROOFING CO., 


111 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, IIl. 
Factories at Argo, IIl., and Detroit, Mich. 


Winthrops are the only tapered asphalt shingles made, 
Because of their distinctive features, Winthrops are speci- 
fied by the architects of many fine homes. Because of their 
economy. Winthrops are selected, too, for small homes. 
There is nothing better for the mansion, nothing more basi- 
cally economical for the cottage. 


It’s the Taper 


Winthrops are recognized by the profession and trade 
for the quality of the materials used in them, but it’s the 
taper—the thick butts—that set Winthrops apart from all 
other asphalt shingles. 


The thick butts lie flat and snug against the roofing 
sheathing. Winthrops are tight against sifting snow and 
driving rain. 

Winthrops do not curl or warp. They can not rot, rust, 
erack, nor split. 


The thick butts, built up of extra coats of everlasting 
asphalt on both sides of the heavy felt core double the 
wearing thickness where wear comes—on the portion ex- 
posed to the weather. 


Not only do Winthrops give lasting protection against 
weather but they are a protection against fires caused by 
sparks and blazing brands falling upon a roof. The fire 
underwriters approve them. 


Winthrop Beauty 


The beauty of a roof of Winthrops is in part due to the 
same thick butts. They cast the shadow lines that made 
the wooden shingle roofs so attractive. This illustration 
shows the actual shadow lines. 


due to the 


They are 
non-fading crushed slate, deeply anchored into the asphalt 
for a surface of lasting beauty. 


Winthrop colors are permanent.

For beauty, for wear, for protection, use and recommend 
Winthrops. 


Sizes and Styles 


The standard Winthrop Tapered Asphalt Shingle is 10 by 
13% inches and is laid 41% or 5 inches to the weather. They 
are supplied in bundles, % square to a bundle. Though 
they have the thick butts—just about double the thickness 
of ordinary shingles—a Winthrop roof exceeds but slightly 
the weight of a roof of ordinary giant shingles. The taper 
puts the thickness where the wear comes.

Winthrops are made also

the 12 inch are laid 5. The slots are five inches deep and 
three-fourths of an inch wide. 


In solid colored roofs there’s a speed advantage in the 
Winthrop 3-in-1, which is the same shingle so far as 
quality is concerned as the individual. The strips are laid 
with fewer nails, without chalk lines, and they space auto- 
matically. The strips are packed three bundles to a square. 


Roll Roofing 


We manufacture also an excellent slate surfaced roll roof- 
ing in standard weight or extra heavy. This roll roofing is 
in plain colors or in printed designs to give a shingled ap- 
pearance. 


Samples Upon Request 


Although most good lumber yards carry Winthrop 
Tapered Asphalt Shingles, we should like to send a full 
sized sample and complete, illustrated literature to any 
home building contractor. In writing please specify the 
style of shingle and color you wish. 


If you do not know Winthrops take this opportunity to 
see their beauty and quality. They have the beauty. They 
have the quality. They have also these distinguishing 
features—the taper and this trade mark.

Experience and Facilities 


BIRD & SON, ine., was established in 1795, and 
after years of experience in the manufacture of pa- 
per, the company was one of the pioneers in turning 
its efforts to the manufacture of waterproof building 
paper and felt roofing. 

The highest quality of materials is maintained 
through the most up-to-date machinery and methods 
and a highly efficient personnel. The several mills 
of the company provide for prompt shipment any- 
where. 

Bird’s products have been distributed and apphed 
to buildings of every description throughout the 
world and have long been known to be of the highest 
gerade. 


Neponset Twin Shingles 


Neponset Twin Shingles are extra high grade. The depth 
of 12%4 inches gives three full layers of coverage with *4-inch 
overreach to catch the nailing of the second higher course. 
The arched cut-out (a distinctive Bird feature), prevents 
tearing at the point of nailing. 

Weight, a full 260 pounds per square, packed in 3 bundles 
of 60 shingles each. Red, green and blue-black slate surfac- 
ing. Should be applied over roof boards laid close together, 
sheathed with Neponset Black Building Paper; roofer to fol- 
low instructions enclosed in each bundle of shingles. Also 
recommended for application over old wooden shingles. 


Neponset Twin Shingle 


Bird’s Super Twin Shingles 


A 5-in. cutout makes them particularly adaptable for appli- 
cation over old wooden shingles. They are an extra heavy 
twin shingle combining the features of Neponset Twins with 
extra weight and massive appearance. 12%4 in. x 20 in. 

May be laid 4 inches to the weather giving, three thick- 
nesses of coverage, or may be laid 5 inches to the weather 
for a particularly heavy and massive appearance. The cut- 


out is 5 inches deep. They are packed 36 shingles to 
the bundle; 5 bundles to the square, weighing about 
325 pounds when laid 4 inches to the weather. If laid 
5 inches to the weather, 4 bundles weighing about 260 
pounds will cover one square. 


Bird’s Art Blende Twin Shingles 


Bird’s Art Blende Twin Shingles are made 
in the same sizes and weights as Neponset and 
Super-Twins, but instead of being plain colors they 
combine a red, buff and purple in an artistic blend 
that goes well with practically any type of building. 
They well may be known as ‘‘The Crowning Glory of 
the Home.”’ 


Paroid Roll Roofing 


Paroid Roll Roofing is of the highest quality, with a special 
Tale surfacing of bright gray color. It comes in rolls of 
either 108 or 216 square feet, with lap cement and nails. 
Made in two weights—55 pounds and 65 pounds per square. 
Roofer should apply according to directions in each roll, 


Neponset Black Building Paper 


Neponset Black Building Paper has been known and speci- 
fied by architects for years as a waterproof building paper 
of the highest grade. A strong bodied paper thoroughly sat- 
urated with asphalt, protected with asphaltic coating on both 
sides, giving an absolutely waterproof paper. Recommended 
particularly for use: 

1. Under all kinds of roofing. 

2. Behind clapboards and shingles or stucco on the walls of 

buildings.

The Mule-Hide Rainbow Shingle 


The same soft blended tapestry color effect, which 
for many years has been sought by architects and 
which has heretofore been obtainable only with 
expensive Bangor slate roofs, is now produced 
in the Mule-Hide Rainbow roof. In it is pre- 
sented a soft and beautiful wealth of delightful 
color hues that intensify in beauty as they grow 
older. This pleasing natural rainbow effect is 
secured through the skillful blending of rich 
non-fading crushed slate and minerals. It may 
be had in the following types of Mule-Hide 
shingles: Double thick individual shingle, Giant 
double thick 3-unit shingle, Super 4-unit shingle 
and Standard 4-unit shingle.

Mule-Hide Smooth Finish Roll Roofing ‘‘Famed for 
Its Toughness’’—No other smooth asphalt roofing 
offers such ‘‘toughness’’ and durability as does the 
original Mule-Hide product. Made in medium, heavy 
and extra heavy weights. 

The quantity of asphalt saturation in Mule-Hide is an 
index of the wear of that quality—obviously the heavier 
the weight of saturation the longer wear that Mule-Hide 
insures. 

Estimated Wear—Medium weight, ten years or more. Heavy 
weight, twelve years or more. Extra heavy weight, fourteen 
years or more. 

Specifications—Made in rolls containing 108 sq. ft. (allow- 
ing for overlap). Rolls are 36 in. wide, weighing as follows: 
medium, 45 ILs.; heavy, 55 Ibs.; extra heavy, 65 lbs. per square. 
Directions for applying, together with cement and special large 
size galvanized nails, are packed in each roll.

buildings as the smooth finish roll roofing. The outstanding 
advantage is the slate surfacing in the various natural red, green 
and blue-black colors.

asbestos fibers it contains make a thicker coat, and when 
spread over the roof it fills in all small openings. Comes in 
5, 10 and 50-gal. cans. 

Mule-Hide Gilsonite Root Putty—A thick mixture of Mexi- 
can asphalt, asbestos fiber, and high grade solvent. Used for

trowel. never dries out. Put up in household sizes as well as 
large packages. 


Mule-Hide Asphalt Built-up Roofs 


Application of Mule-Hide built-up roofs should be such that 
between each layer of felt a full sheet of asphalt should be 
applied so that in no case does felt touch felt. 

Felts should be applied by rolling into hot asphalt mopped 
on just ahead of roll. 

Sections of roofing applied from day to day should be com- 
pleted each day so that bare felts are not left exposed to the 


weather over night. Method of Laying Mule-Hide Built-up Roof

are to be applied: inches over preceding one, nailing thru the lap with large head roofing nails spaced 6 inches apart 


and thru the longitudinal center of each sheet spaced 12 inches apart. 

Second—Again starting at the lowest line of roof deck apply a 16” strip of 15-lb. Asphalt 
Felt by laying in a mopping on base felt. 

Third—Again starting at lowest line of roof deck apply a full sheet of Asphalt Felt 32 inches 
wide by rolling in a hot mopping of asphalt applied on 16-inch strip. Continue the application of 
15-lb. asphalt felt 32 inches wide by lapping each sheet 17 inches over preceding sheet and roll- 
ing in a hot mopping of asphalt. 

Fourth—After the roofing has been applied as above, mop the top surface with hot Asphalt, 
nroviding a top coating of 30 pounds per 100 square feet. 


ee 
Base and counter- All fire walls, chimneys, curbs, skylights, monitors and other obstructions on the roof shall be 
flashings: securely flashed by turning the felt up three to six inches against the wall, over which shall be 


laid a 10-inch strip, with half its width on the roof. The upper edge of the strip, and the layers 
of Felt underneath, shall then be fastened to the wall with wooden strip nailed over the Felt. 
This may be counter-flashed by not less than 16-inch copper, which should be set into the wall 
and extend not less than four inches over the Felt when roof is finished.

Reputation 


There is an iron tyranny which compels those 
who do good work to go on doing good work. 
That which is mediocre may deteriorate and 
no great harm be done but that which has been 
accorded a good reputation is forever for- 
bidden to drop below its own best. Conscious 
of this fact we use every possible means of in- 
suring that every individual shingle, or other 


product of our manufacture, shall be as perfect as it is 
possible to make it. All that experience, modern manufac- 


turing methods and equipment, and careful i 
do to insure a uniform product of the highest 


in the fabricating of TU-EL Shingles and other Logan-Long,

requires in addition the facilities and equip- 
ment that give complete supervision and con- 
trol of the component parts entering into the 
product. Logan-Long possesses both. In the 
ownership and operation of our own felt mill, 
we enjoy the advantage of being always able 
to obtain that grade and character of rag felt 
which experience has taught us serves best 
our purpose. No other factor is so important, 
since to a great extent the life and service of 


Asphalt Roofing depends upon the felt used as a base. 

TU-EL products are what we aim they shall be because 
we control every step in the manufacturing process from 
the selection and grading of rags for the felt base to the 


affixing of label to the finished package.

LOGAN-LONG HEXAGONS—“Color Harmony and Utility Unsurpassed” 


This is the Age of Color! 

On every hand you have proof of it—in the clothing people 
wear, in the bright tints of wall coverings and draperies, in 
the increasing use of full range brick work and colored 
mortar and stuccos. To be in keeping with the colorful 
world in which we now live the sombre roof of by-gone days 
must give place to one in which harmonious tints blend in 
a beautiful symphony of color. Logan-Long Hexagon 
Shingles are keyed to modern tendencies. They make the 
roof part of the picture, crowning the home with a roof 
of surpassing beauty, 


We Want You to See the Shingle Itself 


No illustration can do justice to it. Just say the word 
and we will gladly send you samples of the four colors in 


which the best of Asphalt Shingles is made. Mottled Red, 
Mottled Green, Blended Purple and Blended Buff. Lay 
them side by side and note how perfectly they harmonize. 
Note the extra deep head-lap of 4% inches and the lock 
joint that insures accuracy of alignment, both vertical and 
horizontal, and seals the roof at every point against wind, 
rain and snow. 


Specifications: 

12%” deep by 16%” wide. Standard Weight, approxi- 
mately 205 lbs. per square—3 bundles to the square—70 
shingles to the bundle. Extra Heavy Weight, approximately 
280 lbs. per square—4 bundles to the square—53 shingles 
to the bundle. All bundles packed with wood board top,

Enduringly Tough and Strong 

Nasco Shingles are manufactured 
from the most ideal combination of raw 
materials available for the roof—the 
finest quality, specially-prepared hydrau- 
lic cement and genuine Chrysolite-as- 
bestos fibre—minerals that cannot rot 
and are everlasting. Pure metallic oxide 
colors are used (no vegetable or aniline 
dyes) so that the colors are fast and permanent and 
the roof will never require painting. 

Therefore, if you figure on the cost-per-year basis, 
Nasco Shingles are the cheapest and best for every 
home. 


Defies All Climatic Conditions 

The insulation qualities of Nasco Shingles against 
heat and cold are remarkable. You actually save coal 
in the winter and the sun’s strongest rays have no 
effect on a Nasco Roof. 

A salty or moist atmosphere causes the majority 
of roofing materials to decay very rapidly, but cli- 
matic conditions will never affect Nasco Shingles. 

You can therefore readily appreciate that when 
Nasco Shingles are applied, you will be able to FOR- 
GET YOUR ROOF AS LONG AS YOU LIVE.

Anti Fire 


Fire caused by sparks on roof is the 
second largest factor in Uncle Sam’s 
tremendous annual fire loss of over 
$500,000,000.. Consider the added safe- 
ty and comfort afforded you by a Nasco 
Roof, which is absolutely fireproof. 
Sparks are harmless on Nasco Shingles 
and a fire in a house with a Nasco Roof 
can very readily be prevented from spreading, but 
when a house with an inflammable roof burns, it be- 
comes a menace to the entire neighborhood. 


Heather 
Autumn Leaf Brown 
Chrome Green 


A Nasco Roof will lower your fire insurance pre- 
mium, because asbestos shingles have been given the 
highest rating by the Fire Underwriters Laboratories. 


No Repairing Necessary 


The roof should remain in A-1 condition as long 
as the house stands and when this is possible at a 
nominal initial cost, without the necessity of looking 
after the roof from time to time, you certainly should 
avail yourself of the opportunity—Naseco Asbestos 
Shingles afford every advantage and not a single 
come-back, no matter what sort of roofing test you 
put them to. 


There are innumerable uses in the home for Nasco Asbestos boards—flat and 
eorrugated—for sheathing, wallboard, roofs, fireproofing, partitions, ete. Flat

whereby a full thickness of the soof is 
welded over the top of the nail, eliminat- 
ing nail hole leaks, reducing the danger 
of joint leakage, and making a one-piece 
continuous’ roof. Security Roofing is

felt, mineral asphalt cement, and fine sea 
gravel, red or green crushed slate, per- 
manently imbedded in the top layer of 
asphalt. No eoal tar is used. In rolls of 
120 square feet (including 20 square feet 
allowed for 6-inch joint) sufficient to 
cover 100 square feet of surface. Nails _ 
and hard cement for applying, packed outside each roll.

in every climate, on every kind of roof. Tt is siving uni- 
versal satisfaction and will stand up under the most ad- 
verse conditions, 


Natroco Mineral Asphalt Roofing 


This is an extra heavy single felt roofing equipped with 
a three-inch unsurfaced lap joint. On the top, or weather

Products 


Safekote Slate-surfaced Asphalt Shingles

Uses 


To provide the most dependable and at the same 
time economical roofing for homes, garages, barns, com- 
mercial structures, manufacturing establishments. Also 
to bring to them the finish, attractiveness, and beauty 
which they deserve. 

Safekote Shingles are especially handsome. Hand- 
some in colors as well as in effect. The green, red and 
blue-black shades are appropriate to any building which 
has a sloping roof. All types are made in the three 
colors. 

COLORMIXT, a new Safekote Shingle, is a favorite 
with home builders. It is unusually beautiful. These 
shingles meet every need for color in the roof. They 
offer new beauty, originality in roof effect, and 
guaranteed protection. At present they are made only 
in the “300 to 1” Individuals and 12144” Standard 
“4 in 1” Strips. 


Construction 


SAFEKOTE materials are the best of their kind the 
world affords. Manufacturing processes are the finest 
yet developed. All-rag felt is used as the base of Safe- 
kote Shingles and roll roofing. It is remarkably strong 
and durable. This is completely saturated with finest 
quality asphalt and then lastingly surfaced with crushed 
slate in permanent colors. ‘The finished products are 
fire-resistant, proof against years of hardest weather, 
and fully guaranteed. . 

SAFEKOTE Shingles are heavier than ordinary 
kinds. The increased dimensions of the “300 to 1” 
Individuals and the “3 in 1” Giants cut down the time 
and labor of laying. <A point especially appreciated by 
contractors.

FOR RE-BEAUTIFYING OLD HOMES

how easily any type of home may be re-beautified with Creo-Dipts. 


FOR NEW ROOFS AND SIDE WALLS ON THE OLD HOME 


Creo-Dipts Mean Year ’Round Work 


In your town there are dozens of old 
clapboard houses that can be completely 
modernized by re-roofing and by laying 
Creo-Dipt Shingles right over the old sid- 
ing—work that can be done in your usual 
slack seasons. 


Laid Right Over 
Old Siding 

For the builder, this 
Creo-Dipt method of re- 
beautifying is particu- 
larly profitable. The 
Creo-Dipt Shingles are 
laid right over the old 
siding. ‘There is no ex- 
pensive preparation ; lit- 
tle more cost than one 
thorough painting. Once 
the Creo-Dipts are ap- 
plied, the job is finished, 
because Creo-Dipt Shingles come already 
stained and require no painting. 


Creo-Dipts Save Their Cost 


Where ordinary clapboards usually re- 
quire seven thorough paintings in twenty 
years to preserve the wood from rot, Creo- 


The Townsend home in Leroy, N. Y., re-beautified 
with 24-inch gray Creo- Dipt’ Shingles laid right 
over old siding. 


Dipts require only one brushecoat every ten 
years; in fact, many owners never re-stain 
them at all. 

In painting expense alone, over a twenty 
year period, Creo-Dipts save their cost in 
reduced upkeep. 

And in addition, Creo- 
Dipt outside walls and 
roof save fuel. One home 
owner figures he saved 
three tons of coal the 
first winter, while in 
summer the house was 
cooler. 


Many Colors—Many 
Possibilities 

Creo-Dipt Shingles 
come in a wide variety 
of colors and sizes suit- 
able for every type of 
house. 

They are stocked by representative lum- 
ber dealers everywhere. Ask your dealer 
to show you samples and color pad. Or, 
write for portfolio of large photographs of 
old homes re-beautified with Creo-Dipts and 
new homes designed by prominent archi- 
tects and for booklet of color suggestions. 
This is free to builders.

FOR ROOFS AND SIDE-WALLS ON THE NEW HOME— 
Creo-Dipt Beauty Pays Its Own Way 


For the new home, even the first cost of Creo-Dipt 
side-walls and roofs is less than that of ordinary ma- 
terials. And over a period of years, Creo-Dipt beauty 
pays its own way—for on new homes as on old—Creo- 
Dipts mean astonishing sav- 
ings in upkeep. 


How Creo-Dipts Save 
Paint Bills 


Creo-Dipt Shingles are se- 
lected red cedar, thoroughly 
stained and preserved by our 
own process. Architects and 
builders have learned that 
Creo-Dipt colors are durable 
eolors—that the individual 
method of staining makes col- 
ors uniform from one end of 
a shingle to the other. 


The fact that Creo-Dipts 
come already stained saves 
painting when they are put 
on the job. In twenty years, Creo-Dipt side-walls 
and roofs eliminate enough repainting to save every 
penny of their cost.

Dipt thatched roofs and in-

Creo-Dipts Mean 
Salability 


Builders everywhere like Creo-Dipts because they 
add to the salability of a home. To the prospective 
buyer, they mean lowered upkeep in the years to 
come; and Creo-Dipts have been so strongly adver- 
tised, home owners everywhere recognize their known 
value.

Bear Brand Red Cedar Shingles 


“THE SHINGLE 
BEAUTIFUL”

PACIFIC TIMBER COMPANY 
EVERETT, WASHINGTON 


Products

Shingle Beautiful’—a Red Cedar 
Shingle, stained or plain, marketed un- 
der the trade name, “Bear Brand.” If 
your jocal lumber dealer does not have 
this superior shingle in stock write to 
us for samples and name of nearest 
dealer who can supply you. 


Uses 

Bear Brand Red Cedar Shingles are suitable for 
both roofing and siding and the range of colors and 
sizes makes it possible to obtain strikingly beautiful 
effects. Their use adds to the attractiveness of the 
home and to its actual sales value. 


Grades 


Bear Brand Red Cedar Shingles are made in the fol- 
lowing grades: 


Extra Clears 
Dimension Clears 
XXXXX 
XXX 
Perfection 
Royals 
Double Royals 
For definitions on these various grades, see “Grading 
Rules” on next page.

and 24 inch. All sizes are sold on a square basis. A 
square of 16 inch shingles will cover 16 square feet 
when laid with 5 inches exposed to the weather. A 
square of 18 inch shingles will cover 100 square feet 
with 51% inches exposed, and a square 
cf 24 inch shingles will cover 100

produces the true Colonial White 
effect.

on roof or siding, shingles in “Varie- 
gated Shades” should be ordered. 
Bundles will then be furnished con- 
taining shingles in two or more shades. 


Trade Mark Registered 


Machine Staining Insures Thorough 
Penetration and Uniform Shades 


All Bear Brand Shingles—“The 
Shingle Beautiful”—are stained by a 
patented mechanical process that in- 
sures thorough penetration of the stain 
and uniform shades. Nothing is left 
to chance or to the skill of the operator, 
as in the hand-dip method of staining. 
The machine tender merely feeds the bundles of shingles 
to the machine and removes them when the staining 
operation is completed, the operation of the machine 
itself being automatic and pre-determined so that each 
shingle received exactly the same treatment. 

The shingles are completely immersed in the stain 
for a much longer period than is practicable by the 
hand dipping method, and all excess stain is removed 
by centrifugal force, resulting in a uniformity of shade 
unattainable by any other method. 


Shingles Thoroughly Dried Before Staining 

Bear Brand Shingles are immersed in the stain while 
they are still warm from the kilns, absolutely free from 
moisture and with the pores of the wood open—in other 
words in the best possible condition to absorb the stain. 
This fact, coupled with the long immersion under 
pressure results in the thorough penetration which is 
necessary to insure durability of the shingle and per- 
manence of color. 


Quality of Stain 

Only the highest grade pigments and preservatives 
are used in the manufacture of “The Shingle Beauti- 
ful.’ The cresote used is refined until all traces of 
tar acids and sulphur are removed, and is then mixed 
with high grade boiled linseed oil and China wood 
oil. The colors used are the best ob- 
tainable, free from adulteration of any 
kind. By our patented process of 
mechanical staining the pigments used 
are kept constantly in suspension in 
the staining fluid without requiring 
the addition of any filler or fluffy 
material for this purpose. 


Write for Booklet 


The story of “The Shingle Beauti- 
ful” is completely and interestingly 
told in a booklet printed in three colors, 
which will give you some idea of the 
beauty of Bear Brand Stained Shingles 
as well as illustrating how to use them 
most effectively. We shall be glad to 
mail you a copy ef this booklet on 
request.

For Life-Long Roofs and Sidewalls 

WEATHERBEST Stained Shingles are used on 
sidewalls as well as roofs and when applied with zinc- 
coated nails that do not rust will give 50 years of service 
on roofs and last as long as the building on sidewalls. 
The soft, semi-transparent colors add much to the at- 
tractiveness of a home as WEATHERBEST stain 
emphasizes the grain of the shingles just enough so 
that the flat tone of a painted surface is absent. 
Reliability and Quality 

WEATHERBEST Stained Shingles and stain have 
been on the market for the past fifteen years and can 
be thoroughly relied upon to give entire satisfaction. 
Each bundle carries the WHATHERBEST label and is 
our guarantee of perfect material and lasting colors. 
Only the finest 100% Edge Grain British Columbia 
Red Cedar is used in the manufacture of WHATHER- 
BEST Stained Shingles. Every shingle is perfect from 
tip to butt. WEATHERBEST Stain consists of the 
strongest color pigments obtainable, high grade wood 
creosote and linseed oils—all properly mixed in our 
factories in the correct proportion to insure lasting, 
uniform colors. All shingles are unbundled at our 
factories and treated separately—not bundle dipt as 
is the case with many other stained shingles. After 
treatment, the shingles are rebundled and come ready 
to lay. No brush coat is required after shingles are laid. 


Variety of Weather-Tested Colors 

Twenty standard WEATHERBEST colors, any 
number of color schemes for beautiful variegated color 
roofs, and the fact that we match special colors with- 
out extra charge allows an almost unlimited means of 
carrying out any color idea desired when WHEATHER- 
BEST Stained Shingles are used. 


A postal will bring this set of color samples which 
show WEATHERBEST colors on Red Cedar. Also 
ask for literature suggestive of the many color schemes 
available with WEATHERBEST.

Why Weatherbest Always Lie Flat 

The prime essentials in stained shingle effects which 
give permanent satisfaction are (1) even, durable 
color and (2) freedom from curling and warping. 
WEATHERBEST Edge-Grain shingles can be counted 
on for these essentials. The two pictures below ex- 
plain why WEATHERBEST colors last and the 
shingles do not curl. 


A photographic reproduction of 100% Edge-Grain Red 
Cedar Shingles used exclusively in the manufacture of 
WHATHERBEST Stained Shingles. These Edge-Grain 
shingles readily absorb and retain the maximum amount of 
color. Edge-Grain and the creosote preservative is the 
reason why WEATHERBEST Stained Shingles lie perfectly 
flat during their many years of service. 


The picture above shows poorly manufactured, flat or 
“Slash” grain Red Cedar Shingles. The hard, flint-like 
surface of the flat grain cannot absorb and hold color. 
These are the kind of shingles that curl, warp and split 
after a few years of service.

For Remodeling Old Homes 

If you own a home that is “growing old”—that is 
in need of “fixing up’—WEATHERBEST Stained 
Shingles right over 
the old clapboards 
will work wonders 
in transforming the 
old house into one

changes also made 
the results are in- 
deed surprising. 

You can re-cover 
old Plaphoard siding with WEATHERBEST Stained 
Shingles at only a very little more than the cost of 
repainting and because WEATHERBEST Stained

EDHAM KOLORED SHINGLES 


Made by 


EDGECUMBE-NEWHAM CO., LIMITED 
VANCOUVER, B. C. 


From the log to a linseed oil non-fading Kolored Shingle, 
all under the same roof 


Timber Used 

All EDHAM KOLORED SHINGLES are manu- 
factured from British Columbia Upland Red Cedar, 
acknowledged by experts as the best wood for 
shingles. 


Manufacture 


After the logs are cut to length required, the bolts 
are then quartered to make strictly edge-grain shin- 
eles. The material during each operation is inspected 
by workmen and inspectors until each shingle is 100% 
edge-grain, 100% clear, 100% heart, smoothly sawn 
and otherwise well manufactured. 

These shingles have the British Columbia ‘‘ Edg- 
erain’’ inspection brand. 


Kiln Drying 
These shingles are carefully dried in improved 
dry kilns and are not over dried. 


Edham Kolors 


Strictly pure colors are used in the manufacture 
of our ‘‘kolor’’, ground in our own plant. After 
thoroughly grinding the colors in linseed oil, the 
‘‘kolor’’ is made by thoroughly mixing the ground 
colors in correct proportions with pure linseed oil, 
pure creosote oil, lighter oils and binders. The result 


is a linseed oil ‘‘kolor’’ of the highest quality. 
Our chemist constantly analyzes all oils and colors 
for purity. 


How Colors Are Applied 


The edge-grain shingles are completely and indi- 
vidually dipped by hand (not in bundles), while 
warm from the dry-kilns, and before any moisture 
is absorbed—insuring penetration and complete coy- 
ering. Then, are allowed to drain off before re- 
bundling. 


Reinspection 


Before repacking, the shingles are reinspected, and 
any shingles defective in any way are discarded. 


How to Identify 

EDHAM KOLORED SHINGLES is_ plainly 
stamped in red letters on the band-stick on each bun- 
dle, and, in addition, a tag showing the grade and 
color number is inserted between the band-stick and 
the shingles.

Stain, like paint, is judged by its ability to stand up under

Naturally, no single-dipped shingles can retain their color 
as long as shingles which are double-dipped, for the same 
reason that no single coat of paint on a house will wear as 
long as two coats.

In the illustration at right, 
the upper part shows results 
secured with single dipping, 
and the lower part with the 
Mauk Double-Dipping pro- 
cess. Note the extra heavy 
coating on the double-dip- 
ped shingle, which requires 
no further brush coat, and 
retains the color perman- 
ently. 


Pure stains which retain 
their true color 


The stains used in Mauk Double-Dipped Shingles are 
pure colors. For instance the green is not a chrome 
green built up of a blue and yellow base—but a pure 
natural mineral color, and for this reason does not fade 
to blue or yellow on exposure. The grays and other colors 
are equally reliable and true, even after long exposure, 


Mechanical application of stain 
insures evenness and per- 
manence of color 


By the Mauk process the stain is forced into the wood 
under pressure. This process assures an even and thorough 
diffusion. After the first dipping the shingles are dried 
and again stained under pressure. 


Mauk Double-Dipped Shingles are free from streakiness 
and unevenness of color. Every shingle receives two 
complete coats of stain; no later brush-coat on the job is 
necessary. 


Many beautiful and unusual effects can be obtained by the 
use of Mauk Double-Dipped Specialties in various com- 
binations, for instance the “Monarch” and “Colonial Shake” - 
illustrated below.

Base of Ohio Metal Copper Bearing Steel 


Hundreds of tests in all parts of the country under varying 
atmospheric conditions have shown steel alloyed with copper to 
be highly rust resisting in an uncoated state. Naturally, there- 
fore, in developing conductor pipe to outwear all other pipe, 
Wheeling engineers employ a copper bearing steel as the basis 
of Wheeling pipe manufacture. 


Terne Coated 


Terne coating, employing a combination of lead and tin is the 
first process Wheeling uses in preparing the Ohio Metal Copper- 
Bearing Steel sheets before forming into pipe. The lead coating 


is sweated into the seam when the pipe is formed and dipped : EN SES posts ae 
in zine—thus securely soldering the seam. mal hetchien acces 


Terne coating dispenses with acid pickling (the method usually 
used for galvanizing), and thereby eliminates all possibility of 
acid remaining in the pockets of the seams. 


Zinc Coated (Galvanized After Forming) 


After the Terne coated Ohio Metal Conductor Pipe is completely 
formed, it is immersed in pure molten zine by the hand-dipping 
process. A heavy coating of uniform density and thickness is given 
to the pipe on inside and outside surfaces, including edges, while 
the seam is also permanently sealed both inside and out. The 
heavy coating remains an unbroken protective shell that renders 


the pipe as immune to rust as could possibly be conceived. Sea OBIT al Beatie 2

CALIFORNIA WHITE AND SUGAR PINE 
MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION 


600 Call Building 
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. 


Association Membership and Organization: 

The pine lumber manufacturers of California and the 
Klamath Falls, Oregon, district form our membership. 
This Association is not a sales organization. The mills 
have associated themselves together to promote efficiency 
in manufacturing, uniform grading, and the dissemina- 
tion of information pertaining to the proper uses of 
their product. 


Services: 

A trade extension department is maintained to assist 
architects, builders, manufacturers, dealers, and con- 
sumers in all matters relating to the proper use of these 
woods. Architects and builders are requested to write 
us for information relative to their uses for lumber or 
its reworked products. We will advise the kinds, grades, 
and sizes of lumber we recommend for specific uses. 


Forest Resources and Production: 


The forests in which these mills operate contain 
approximately 250 billion feet of timber, as follows:

At the present rate of cutting, the available supply 
should last for nearly two centuries. However, new 
growth is now adding a quarter-billion feet annually to 
the supply, thus insuring a continuous production of 
luinber. 


Sizes: 
These woods are manufactured in sizes that conform 


with AMERICAN LUMBER STANDARDS. 


Grading and Inspection: 


California white and sugar pine lumber is uniformly 
graded at Association mills under the standard rules of 
the CALIFORNIA WHITE AND SUGAR PINE 
MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION, which are in 
close conformity to AMERICAN LUMBER

The Species “Pinus Ponderosa” (California White Pine) Attains Its 
Largest and Finest Growth in the California District. 


CALIFORNIA WHITE PINE 


Why CALLED “CaLirorntA WHITE Pinr’—The 
botanical name of this wood is Pinus Ponderosa. The 
name of “California White Pine” was given to it 
because of its color and softness, long before it was 
shipped East and became a general commercial wood. 

The physical properties of California white pine, as 
demonstrated in tests made at the United States govern- 
ment Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, 
and its uses, align it with eastern white pine. 


Characteristics of Growth in California: 


The species of soft pine from which California lumber 
is obtained grows over the entire western mountain 
section of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, from California 
south to Mexico, and north into British Columbia. 
However, a species of tree growing over so wide a 
range often attains its most perfect growth in one 
particular region. 

This region, for Pinus Ponderosa, is California and 
the Klamath Falls, Oregon, district, including both the 
eastern and western slopes of the Sierra Nevadas and 
the Siskiyou Mountains. Here the winter snows deeply 
cover the tree’s roots, and the summer sun bathes the 
trees in a flood of warmth, causing the trees to attain 
their largest size and finest quality. 

California white pine reaches its most perfect growth 
at altitudes of 3500 to 6000 ft. 

The California white pine trees grow tall and straight 
to a height of 125 to 175 ft. with an average diameter 
from 3 to 4 ft., though individual trees reach a height 
of 200 ft., and a diameter of 8 ft. 


A CALIFORNIA SUGAR PINE MONARCH OF THE FOREST 


This tree was 9 ft. 2 in. in diameter above the swell of the butt. 
The first 16-ft. log scaled 6200 board ft.; the second scaled 5280 
board ft. The whole tree produced 32,340 board ft. of lumber, 
enough to build two good-sized houses, 


CALIFORNIA SUGAR PINE 


A True White Pine—Sugar pine is, botanically and phys- 
ically, a true white pine. [{t has five slender needles in each 
cluster, and the clusters occur in feathery tufts at the ends 
of graceful branches, as do those of its eastern relative, 
the white pine of New England and the Lake States. 

In cell structure sugar pine is also a white pine. The 
longitudinal cells are uniform in size and regularly spaced. 
The radial cells have smooth walls. There are no alter- 
nately hard and soft rings in the wood. 

Tests on sugar pine made at the Forest Products 
Laboratory, at Madison, Wisconsin, speak volubly of its 
excellence, and show it to be almost identical in many of 
its most important qualities with the white pine of the Hast. 


Characteristics of Growth: 


Sugar pine grows chiefly in California at elevations of 
from 3000 to 9000 ft. The largest trees and heaviest stands 
are found on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada 
Mountains. 

Sugar pine is the largest of the numerous pine family. 
It has a tall, straight trunk with a rich purple-brown or 
cinnamon-red bark. It grows, ordinarily, from 150 to 175 
ft. high and from 4 to 5 ft. in diameter, though occasional 
specimens 230 ft. high and 12 ft. in diameter are seen. 

The tree is exceptionally free from disease, and this, as 
well as its large size, makes possible the production of 
large quantities of lumber of high quality which can be 
seasoned without checking or warping. 


Special Uses for Sugar Pine: 

California sugar pine is especially valuable in those parts 
of the building that are exposed to extreme weather condi- 
tions, aS well as for certain industrial purposes where the 
wood requirements are most rigid. The extremely fine 
characteristics of sugar pine make it unsurpassed and most 
desirable for the following special uses: 


Patterns, foundry flasks 
Drafting tables Organ pipes 
Piano keys Textile machinery 


Tanks and silos 
Boat decking

A TYPICAL STAND OF CALIFORNIA WHITE FIR 


CALIFORNIA WHITE FIR

Following are the more important uses of California 
White Fir: 


Common Boards Dimension 


Concrete Forms Conerete Forms 


ies Girders 
BHeAtnIDe Joists 
Subflooring Studs 
Roof Boards Rafters 
Plates 
Barn Boards Scaffolding 
Heavy Timbers

Boxes 


Characteristics: 
Color: Grayish white. 
Weight: Light. 
Odor and Taste: None wnen dry. 


Physical Properties: 
Does not stain. 
Texture: Moderately soft and uniform. 
Durability: Good when kept dry. 
Shrinkage: Very moderate. 


Mechanical Properties: 


In its mechanical properties, California White Fir 
compares closely with Sitka Spruce and Eastern Hem- 
lock. In strength as a beam or post, in hardness and 
in stiffness, white fir is placed in the same class with 
spruce and hemlock. It is considered to have much 
the same shrinkage as hemlock, and a little less than 
spruce. 

The value of this species is proven by its similarity 
to the Eastern hemlock, which, for many years, has 
been the principal framing lumber in many sections of 
the East. 


Advantages in Use: 


California White Fir has many advantages for its 
more important uses. 


Light Weight and Easy Cutting: 


The light weight and the ease with which White Fir 
may be cut and handled are important for rapid, 
efficient construction. A carpenter working with this 
wood will do more and better work than when using 
a heavier, harder wood. 


Seasoning: 


The fact that this lumber is seasoned at the sawmill 
is of importance to the retail lumber dealer and to the 
ultimate consumer. It reduces the cost of transporta- 
tion and saves space in the retailer’s yard. Seasone | 
lumber can be piled in from one-third to one-fifth the 
space required for green lumber. Furthermore, loss 
from defects which develop during seasoning need not 
be borne by the dealer. There is no danger that this 
lumber will be put into a home while still green—a fact 
which means less settling and distortion of the frame- 
work, gives greater holding power to the nails, and 
constitutes a protection against decay. 


Dressing: 


Dressing !umber at the sawmill after it has been 
seasoned is also important to dealer and user. Wood, 
even of the saine species, does not shrink uniformly, 
and lumber which has been dressed while green will be 
found of varying thickness and widths after it dries. 
This is especially important with lumber dressed to a 
tongue and groove, or shiplap pattern, and with dimen- 
sion lumber. Framing lumber that has been dressed 
green requires more work on the part of the carpenter 
to secure level floors and walls of uniform thickness. 
Floor joists that have been dressed while green and 
seasoned afterwards are often found to vary from 14 to 
1% inch in width. Another important factor in dry 
dressing is that lumber dresses much more smoothly 
than when run green. It is also free from the dust and 
dirt which is apt to collect during the seasoning process, 
and presents a clean, smooth appearance to the buyer 
and user. 


Knots Are Tight: 


Generally speaking, the knots in White Fir are com- 
paratively tight. This is of particular importance in 
the use of this wood for concrete forms, sheathing, 
sub-flooring, barn boards and many other uses. Many 
of the knots are encased, but fixed in position.

Beautiful Birch—for Beautiful Interior Woodwork 


Manufactured by Members of 


NORTHERN HEMLOCK & HARDWOOD MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION 
AND ROTARY BIRCH CLUB 
231 F. R. A. Building, Oshkosh, Wis. 


Products: 


Interior Trim: 


Birch Lumber and Birch Rotary Cut Veneer 
made from unequalled stands of Yellow Birch 
(Betula Lutea), in the great hardwood forests 
of Michigan and Wisconsin, also known as 
gray birch; and from Sweet or Cherry Birch 
(Betula Lenta). 


Description: 

No distinction is made between these closely 
similar species, as a rule. Both species pro- 
duce lumber sold commercially as unselected 
or mixed color birch, selected red birch and selected white 
birch. Red and white birch are not different species as 
the red birch is the slightly reddish heartwood, and white 
bireh the outer part of the same tree. Unselected or mixed 
color birch is the run of the lumber from the log containing 
both the white and red. The sapwood takes stains as readily 
as the heartwood—in this respect differing markedly from 
other important finishing woods. 

It is not necessary to specify “selected” birch to obtain 
very satisfactory results in mahogany, walnut, or similar 
stains. The mixed colors in the unselected birch blend per- 
fectly after the stain is applied, producing a uniform even 
color effect as required. 

Tnselected birch can be obtained for considerably less in 
price than strictly selected red or white, as the quantity of 
red or white birch obtained from the log is comparatively 
small. However, in rotary cut birch veneers, it is possible 
to obtain a larger proportion of red or white veneer than 
in sawn lumber. 

A beautiful variation, especially in veneers, called Curly 
Birch comes from selected logs, either in red or white or 
unselected. It commands a premium and “unselected” should 


usualiy be used. 

Birch being an extremely close grained wood produces 
rotary cut veneer not subject to checking. It is not neces- 
sary to specify sawn veneers on doors or other cabinet work 
to assure against the objectionable checks which later de- 
velop in many other cabinet woods or so-called cabinet woods. 

Birch reaches its best development as a tree in the hard- 
wood forests of Wisconsin and Michigan. Conditions there 
produce a very hard, smooth grained wood. Specify “Grown 
in Wisconsin or Michigan.’ The great bulk of birch lumber 
originates in these two states. 


Hardness: 

Birch is one of the hardest of the hardwoods. Under tests in 
the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, 
it required a pressure of 1320 pounds to embed an 0.444 inch 
steel ball one-fifth of an inch into the side grain of air- 
dried birch. This test is most important, as the forces of 
wear and indentation ordinarily come against the side grain 
of a wood used for interior trim, doors and furniture. The 
hardest of hardwoods is most economical in the long run, 
both in public buildings and private homes, because the fine 
finished appearance of the surface can be retained only by 
this quality of extreme hardness. Birch has it as shown 
above in high degree. 


Strength: 

In all these tests for strength at the U. S. Forest Products 
Laboratory—static. bending, impact bending, compression 
parallel to grain and tension perpendicular to grain—birch 
ranks first among commercial hardwoods. In the tests for 
compression perpendicular to grain and shearing strength 
parallel to grain, birch compares favorably with other 
quality hardwoods. 


Beauty: 

Vith the qualities of hardness and strength, birch com. 
bines that of beauty. It has a very handsome figured grain, 
is capable of taking a high finish and retaining it. Birch 
looks equally well, whether plain, or quarter sawed. Rotary 
eut birch veneer usually serves all purposes which demand 
highly figured wood in broad surfaces, such as panels, etc. 


Beautiful 


birch 


TRADE MARK 


Birch has won recognition in trim as being 
a fine hardwood, of very handsome figured 
grain, and capable of high finish. It is in use 
not only in a multitude of residences and 
apartments, but also in very many hotels, 
office buildings, etc., of the highest class, for 
both trim and doors. 


Birch Rotary Cut Veneers: 


Birch rotary cut veneer is. especially 
: adaptable to deors and panel work of all 
kinds and is widely used in wainscoting and for fixtures, 
store window backing, ete. It is not subject to checking 
because of the extremely close grain of the wood and in 
this respect is superior to most other cabinet woods from 
Which only sawn veneers can be safely utilized. ‘ 


Doors: 


_: Birch veneered doors are usually specified with a standard 
¥3-inch veneer on the frame of the door applied to a softwood 
core. Panels can be 3 or 5-ply in thickness. Names of 
manufacturers specializing in birch doors sent on request. 


Birch Flooring: 


Birch flooring is comparable in service valu i 
flooring, having nearly the same physical neonerrene te 
cluding hardness. It comes either in red or unselected. 
Selected red birch floors are very desirable in most schemes 
of interior decoration, especially with trim of birch or ma- 
te apes are piaee and specifications, see listing in 

ogue under ial é é 
ee etines Panes ee Maple Flooring Manufacturers 


Finishing: 

: Birch lends itself perfectly to the production of any effect 
in finish which can be applied to a first class hardwood. To 
several beautiful finishes it is better adapted than any other 
wood—notably to gray and brown acid staining. It is also 
frequently and successfully used in place of red or brown 
stained mahogany. Birch in a natural finish is also much 
admired. 

Because of the small size of the pores, a filler is usually 
not employed. If a dark filler is used, the pores can be made 
conspicuous, giving the wood additional figure. Rubbed, or 
rubbed and polished finishes, give fine results with birch. 
The user of birch should always remember that he is hand- 
ling a high class hardwood, whose peculiar richness of tone 
and figure is worthy of painstaking treatment. It is of just 
the right density and texture to form a superior base for 
white enamel, for which unselected grade is recommended. 


Information: 


A handsome book on Birch and Its Uses, and any specific 
information or assistance required will be gladly supplied 
on application. 

The new 60-page “Where and Why” book is a reference 
work for every builder. Though primarily devoted to hard 
maple, it contains comparative statistics and tables of of- 
ficial strength and other tests of birch, maple and other 
hardwoods. Concise and authentic. Sent promptly on request. 


Co-operation: 

The Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Manufacturers’ 
Association and The Rotary Birch Club will be glad to put 
inquirers in touch with our members, and with manufacturers 
of birch doors, trim, veneer, etc. 

As hard maple, soft maple, birch, beech, hard and soft elm, 
basswood, ash, white cedar, white pine, Norway pine, balsam 
hemlock and tamarack all grow in the great Novia 
forests of Wisconsin and Michigan, manvufacturers of 
“Beautiful Birch” also produce many or all of these woods. 

Complete data and detailed information about any of these 
species is gladly furnished on request.

ideals a manufacturer may 
have, some employee can offset 
that by carelessness. 

To overcome this, and to insure the trade 
and home builder with an absolutely re- 
liable Red Cedar Shingle of the finest qual- 
ity, the Rite-Grade Shingle Association has 
established a rigid 
set of grading rules 
and as the shingles 
Ole omer l Hemet its 
association are cut, 
they are _ graded 
carefully according 
to these rules, and 
the grade and cov- 
ering capacity is 
steneciled upon 
every bundle. 


The Rite-Grade Inspector 


Most Careful Inspection 

Association inspectors visit every Rite-Grade mill 
and check this grading accurately so that there can 
be no carelessness or ‘‘let down’’ in the uniformity of 
the grade. 

The result is that in Rite-Grade Inspected shingles 
you get, grade for grade, the very finest Red Cedar 
Shingles it is possible to produce, manufactured with 
special care by well equipped modern mills and you 
know exactly the kind of shingles you are getting in 
each grade. 


Choose Right Shingle for Right Place 


Of course, if you want a roof to last the longest 
possible time you must select the highest grade of 
shingles. For some other purposes, such as side 
walls and less particular uses where it is desired to 
hold down the first cost, a lower grade of shingles can 
be used. 

The important thing about the Rite-Grade stamp is 
that it insures your getting exactly what you buy. 

Be sure that the Rite-Grade mark is on every 
bundle of shingles you order. It is your guarantee of 
quality. 

This mark is the property of the Rite-Grade Shingle 
Association and can be used only by members whose 
products comply strictly with the Association rules. 
It is used in addition to the manufacturer’s individ- 
ual brand, which is his mark of identification. 

The mark of Rite-Grade inspection is your protec- 
tion. It absolutely assures you of satisfaction in the 
selection and purchase of Red Cedar Shingles.

““Tidewater’’ Cypress 

Trade-mark Guarantee— AS a guarantee of quality, ac- 
curate grading and responsible methods of manufacture, 
builders should specify ‘‘Tidewater” Cypress, the true ‘““Wood 
Eternal,” identified by the Arrow trade-mark above. 


Where It Grows—The species of Cypress commercially 
known as “Tidewater” Cypress, also Red Cypress, is the 
most valuable. It is distinctly a swamp tree and grows 
along the coasts, and in the lowlands within 200 miles from 
the seaboard, of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, 
from Virginia to Texas. “Inland” or “‘Upland’’ Cypress does 
not possess the characteristic qualities of “Tidewater” Cy- 
press in any desirable degree. 


Durability—“Tidewater” Cypress possessing a natural 
preservative, is one of the most durable of American woods. 
This statement applies specifically to the heart wood. ‘‘All- 
heart” grades should be specified where high resistance to 
decay-producing agencies is required—such as contact with 
the soil and when used in moist or humid conditions. It 
also “weathers well.” 


Color—The color of “Tidewater” Cypress varies from 
slightly reddish to a deeper red and from this, all the way 
to almost black, giving rise to such names as Red and 
Black Cypress. The color of the sapwood is usually much 
lighter than the heartwood. Much ‘Tidewater’ Cypress is 
vari-colored—frequently marked by various color zones from 
slightly red to almost black. The safest specification is 
“Tidewater” Cypress, identified by the Arrow trade-mark. 


Strength—In strength, like in weight, “Tidewater” Cy- 
press is intermediate between heavy and light pines, indi- 
cating a good average strength. 


Other Physical Properties—From the builder’s standpoint, 
other characteristics of “Tidewater” Cypress worthy of men- 
tion are, ease of working, freedom from splitting, checking 
and warping when properly dried, and good nail-holding 
power. “Tidewater” Cypress, other than “Pecky,”’ has very 
few defects except knots and occasional wormholes, and can 
be counted upon to have a very high percentage of flawless 
boards or timbers. 


“Pecky” Cypress—It is the term applied to boards or 
timbers having the peculiar disease common to the heart- 
wood of many Cypress trees. On the cross section, the board 
appears to be full of holes and on the surface, looks as 
if it had been gouged. This is a defect only in the sense of 
appearance and strength and its durability is practically 
as great as that of sound wood. The Pecky disease in no 
way detracts from the usefulness of “Tidewater’’ Cypress 
where exposure and not strength is the prime requirement, 
as in foundations and sills. At the present time, “Pecky” 
Cypress is in great demand for interior trim because of its 
antique appearance and the picturesque effects to be secured 
from such use. 


Varied Utility—'*Tidewater” Cypress having been used for 
many years, evidence of its fitness for humerous purposes 
is overwhelmingly large. A few of the more general uses 
are given in following paragraphs: 


Interior Uses—For interior finish, its ease of working, 
straightness of grain, non-resinous nature and the fine, 
wide, clear sizes obtainable, make the higher grades of 
“Tidewater” Cypress one of the best woods for mouldings, 
doors, sills, panels, sash, casings, ete. As it shrinks or 
swells imperceptibly when properly dried, “Tidewater” 
Cypress is especially desirable for doors where its fine- 
figured grain contributes to beautiful and artistic effects. 
The “Clear Heart” grade is recommended for best quality 
stain or natural finish and the “A” grade for ordinary stain 
finish or best enameled work. 


“Tidewater” Cypress used for the siding, porches, 

shutters, cornices and all exterior trim for this dis- 

tinctive suburban home. Designed by Messrs. Granger 
and Bollenbacher, Chicago. 


Exterior Work—On account of its great durability and 
weather resisting qualities, Cypress excells for all exterior 
work and for uses in contact with soil, such as foundation 
timbers, sills, girders, siding, doors, jambs, facings, window 
shutters, cornices and for porch construction—flooring, 
columns, railings, steps and foundation supports. 


For painting, the “B” grade of Cypress is suitable for the 
usual run of exterior millwork and finish, and the “A” or 
“Clear Heart’ grade for best quality work. 


Shingles—‘“‘Tidewater” Cypress is especially adapted to 
shingles. They have extraordinary durability and possess 
the added virtues of having more wood in them and of 
weighing more than any other shingle now on the market. 
They are sold-as dimension shingles, as well as in random 
widths, and always full count, 4000 lineal inches to con- 
stitute 1000 shingles. 


Lath—In addition to the characteristic qualities of non- 
shrinking and non-warping when properly dried, and ease 
of working with good nail holding power, “Tidewater” 
Cypress lath has the further advantage of not showing 
through plaster, a particularly valuable quality where light 
tints are to be employed.

‘Tidewater’ Cypress, “‘the Wood Eternal’ (continued) 


Farm Uses—Because of its wearing and lasting qualities, 
“Tidewater” Cypress is the most economical lumber to be 
used, figured over the years, for fencings, posts, water 
troughs, well curbing, silos, incubators, barns, hog houses, 
poultry houses and sheds. 

Imparting no odor, taste or color, and being almost non- 
porous, it is unexcelled for water tanks and for use in 
dairies. 

Greenhouse Construction—In greenhouses, ‘Tidewater” 
Cypress is an invaluable wood because of its resistance to 
decay. The entire woodwork of some of the best green- 
houses—ridge poles, supports, sash, siding, benches (the 
latter of ‘“Pecky’’)—is of “Tidewater” Cypress. It is equally 
adapted for all forms of cold frames and is much used for 
flats and flower boxes. 


Miscellaneous Uses—‘“‘Tidewater’ Cypress has also come 
much into use as a Seating material for public and university 
stadiums, and for the construction of grandstands and 
bleachers for baseball parks and fair grounds and the like. 

“Pecky” Cypress is suitable where rustic effects are desired, 
such as seating for parks; pergolas, ete. It is also adapt- 
able for culverts, underground work or work in damp places, 
planking for small bridges, barn floors and foundation 
timbers. 


Fine Pergola Entrance to Estate of J. Wade Tucker, 

Esq., Kissimmee, Florida. Constructed entirely of 

“Tidewater” Cypress as is the adjoining fencing and 
the magnificent home in the background. 


Painting—Ior both exterior and interior work, ‘“Tide- 
water” Cypress can be painted without special preparation 
and with complete satisfaction. 


Natural Finish—But as the charm of modern construction 
is in the use of the natural wood, “Tidewater” Cypress, on 
account of the beauty of its grain and variety of its rich 
shadings, should be varnished and finished in the natural. 


Staining—‘Tidewater’ Cypress can also be stained with 
great success. In imitation of mahogany—becoming even 
more beautiful than mahogany itself—or cherry, black 
walnut, the different oaks; or tinted any desired shade the 
most fastidious fancy may suggest. 


Tupelo 


Origin and Characteristics—Tupelo grows in proximity 
to and is often interspersed with Cypress. 

Untreated Tupelo, however, does not have the same decay 
resisting qualities of “Tidewater” Cypress when exposed to 
moisture and the elements, but is well suited for interior 
uses. Tupelo has a closely interwoven, or involved grain, 
is uniformly white in color, does not sliver or splinter and 
is peculiarly adapted to uses where resistance to hard wear 
is the prime requirement. It is practically free from de- 
fects of any character. 


Industrial Floors—Tupelo, because of its closely involved 
grain, which does not splinter or sliver, is much used for 
interior floors of industrial plants, warehouses, freight 
houses, for covered platforms, ete. Heavy trucking and 
traific only tends to pack its fiber and to make it more solid 
and smoother as time goes on. It should not be used for 
exterior platforms and the like without being treated with 
a preservative. 


Residential Floors—The same characteristics which recom- 
mend Tupelo for industrial flooring, plus its clear white 
uniform color, make it a very desirable flooring material 
for residences. Perfected methods of manufacture and kiln 
drying have made Tupelo a superior product. For appear- 
ance and cost it is probably the best flooring for the mod- 
erate priced home on the market today. 


Mouldings and Trim—Tupelo is extensively manufactured 
into mouldings and other interior trim. Its uniform white 
eolor, close grain, freedom from defects and tendency to 
splitting, and ability to hold nails tenaciously, make it a 
desirable wood for this purpose. 


Tupelo does not raise its grain in the process of finishing 
and, therefore, provides an exceptionally smooth surface 
that takes and holds enamels nicely and can be stained ef- 
fectively. It is especially adapted where a highly glossed 
finish is desired. And, its very moderate cost likewise 
recommends it where price must be taken into consideration. 


Literature and Information 


To meet the constantly growing demand from architects 
and builders for detailed information, we have compiled a 
concise, authoritative, technical treatise on ‘Tidewater’ 
Cypress, covering its qualities, grades, uses and relation of 
grades to uses, painting and finishing, together with sug- 
gested specifications for standard uses. Architects and 
builders, who have not received a copy of this data for their 
files, are invited to write for it. 

Our booklet on Tupelo—its characteristics and uses, also 
merits a place in your files for reference. 

Architects and builders are invited to write freely as to 
any special requirements, references to highly satisfied users 
for specific purposes, or for any other assistance that we 
can give on special problems.

No. 95. 


EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR FINISH 


“Cypress is put to almost every use as an 
interior trim for houses. It may be finished 
in natural color or stained. The wood con- 
tains little resin and thus affords a_ good 
surface for paint, which it holds well. It 
is much used for door frames, window 
frames, transoms, ceiling, wainscoting, 
panels, doors, sash, balusters, inside blinds, 


brackets, newel posts, grilles, mantels, and | either 
to some extent for flooring. It is a popular 4 
wood for kitchens, where it is subjected dresse ° 


to dampness and heat. It shrinks, swells, or 
warps but little, and is used for drainboards, 
sinks, kitchen and pantry tables, cupboards, 
and kitchen cabinets. For the same reason 
it is used for breadboards asd wooden imple- 
ments about the pantry, ironing boards and clothes driers. 


“For the parts of houses exposed to the weather it serves 
equally well. As siding it practically wears out before it 
decays. When made into porch and portico columns it 
retains its shape, holds paint, and has sufficient strength 
to sustain necessary loads. It is placed as cornice, gutter, 


outside blinds, pilasters, and railing, and is much used for 
porch floors and steps.

FARM LUMBER 


‘Much cypress lumber is employed in the 
construction of silos for strong green feed. 
The farmer puts the wood to many uses, in 
all of which it gives good service. Its last- 
ing properties fit it well for curbs, when 
material is needed that resists decay. Water- 
ing troughs for farm stock and feed troughs 
for sheds and barns are made of it; likewise 
troughs or flumes for conveying water from 
wells or springs. Resistance to decay fits 
it for stable floors and timbers near the 
ground, as well as for fences, gates, and 
especially for fence posts and telephone 
poles. It is one of the best available woods 
for picket fences, because it shows paint 
well and holds it for many years, but lasts 
a long time without it. It has been widely 
used for this purpose not only in the South, 
where cypress grows, but in regions remote 
from its range. 


USE IN GREENHOUSES 


“One of the widest uses of cypress is in greenhouse con- 
struction. It is pre-eminently fitted for that trying place, 
where it is called upon to resist dampness, excessive heat, 
and all the elements that hasten decay. It is said that no 
other lumber approaches cypress in the quantity used for 
green and hot houses. It is manufactured into sash, frames, 
benches, boxes, and practically ali else that the builder 
needs. It has replaced white pine to a large degree, 
because it is cheaper and in some ways better.” 


CORNELL UNIVERSITY STADIUM, ITHACA, NEW YORK—SEATS OF TIDEWATER CYPRESS 


The resistance of Cypress to decay, particularly when exposed to dampness, has led to its being used for seats in the Stadium pictured 
above and in Stadiums at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia; University of Illinois, Champaign, Illinois; and U. S. Military 
Academy, West Point, New York.

Standards. 

All load-bearing dimension (studding, rafters and joists) 
extra standard size—more wood and strength to the piece, in- 
suring greater strength and rigidity when used for framing. 

The principle of grade-marking lumber has been acclaimed

Physical Properties eh 
Wood is light, of good average strength for its weight, 


nail holding power. Grade for grade, Northern Hemlock has 
fewer large, strength reducing knots than other structural 
woods. It is non-resinous and so takes and holds both paints 
and stains perfectly and without discoloration. Freedom of 
resin likewise makes it slow-burning. Immunity to dry-rot is 
an important factor in the service life of buildings. In color, 
the heartwood is light brown tinged with red, often nearly 
white, and the sapwood of darker color. 


Principal Structural Uses

Pondosa Pine 

The finest lumber for 
all-around use. It is 
light, yet strong. It is easily worked. Takes 
nails without splitting. Pondosa Beveled 
Siding, with its very thin edge, illustrates 
just how unusual it is in this respect. Pon- 
dosa is beautiful lumber, yet most economi- 
cal. Every trade-marked stick is rigidly 
graded, thoroughly seasoned and carefully 
milled. The fine grain and smooth surface 
are notable. Pondosa Pine takes a beautiful 
natural finish where desired. Paint pene- 
trates its absorbent texture deeply and 
evenly, so that repainting is seldom neces- 
sary. 


Source 

Pondosa Pine, often called the ‘Sovereign 
of Softwoods,”’ comes from the Inland Em- 
pire of the Great Northwest. In area the 
Inland Empire equals all New England, the 
Middle Atlantic States and Virginia—almost 
as much territory as the United States com-

Grade Classification 

Pondosa Pine, like all other woods, has 
its upper and lower grades. Some pieces 
are entirely clear and free from blemishes. 
Others contain knots and similar defects in- 
herent in the tree itself. Classified accord- 
ing to use, it is divided into Yard Lumber, 
the kind used for general building purposes— 
Structural Timbers—and Factory or Shop 
Lumber, which lumbermen call a “cutting 
type” and which is used for sash, doors, ete. 
One of the chief aims of the Western Pine 
Manufacturers Association is to avert 
economic waste by effecting the use of the 
right grade of lumber in the right place. 


Use 

Doors, windows, frames, stairs, sash, 
moulding, interior and exterior trim, porch 
work, sheathing, siding, indeed any place

Distinctive Characteristics of Redwood 
Redwood has many distinctive characteristics which highly 
recommend it for building purposes and particularly exteriors. 


Texture 
Redwood is light and soft, yet firm. Dry weight of wood 
surfaced is only 24 pounds per cubic foot. Has a close, even 
i Oe grain and is unusually 
free from knots and 
other defects. It works 
easily and holds nails 
well. 


Resists Decay 
On account of a nat- 
wral, odorless preservative 
which permeates the tree 
; zis during growth, Redwood 
Residence at Plainfield, N. J. is highly resistant to all 
Redwood siding painted white forms of rot and decay. 
A Redwood log buried in the ground for 600 years was found 
to be perfectly sound and was cut into first class lumber. It 
is unnecessary to treat Redwood with artificial preservatives. 


Fire-Resisting 

Owing to the absence of pitch and other resinous substances, 
Redwood is slow to ignite and offers unusual resistance to fire. 
There was conclusive proof of this in many instances during 
the great San Francisco fire in 1906 and in the fact that forest 
fires sweeping through the underbrush leave Redwood trees 
unharmed. 


Non-Conductivity 
On account of its peculiar cellular strueture—layer upon 


and is one of the best nat- 
ural insulators known. (See 
illustration at bottom of 
column.) 


Color 


The heart wood ranges 
from a light cherry color 
to mahogany—generally an 
old rose shade. The small 


Residence at Des Moines, Ia. amount of sap wood is a 
Redwood Colonial siding painted white cream color. 
Will Not Warp, Swell or Shrink 

Properly seasoned, Redwood will not warp, swell or shrink, 
making if extremely valuable for many particular and exact- 
ing uses. 


Excellent Painting Surface 

It is not necessary to paint or stain Redwood to make it 
durable, but where the preference is for a painted or stained 
effect it will be found that Redwood will readily take any 
finish that any other wood will take, and some finishes that 
no other wood will take. The fine grain, smooth surface, 
absence of resin or pitch, and the walls of the minute air cells 
forming tiny anchorages, allow paint or varnish to penetrate 
thoroughly and to hold. The freedom of Redwood from swell- 
ing or shrinking tends to insure against unsightly cracks in

Interior: On account of its natural beauty, absence of pitch, 
and high proportion of clear lumber, Redwood is adapted for 
many kinds of interior work. 

Clear Redwood, having an unusually even grain and being 
free from knots, can be used to create beautiful effects with- 
out the necessity of selecting special pieces. Redwood can be 
obtained in extra-wide, clear boards, making it unnecessary to 
use veneered or built-up panels. It takes stains and other fin- 
ishes readily and may be waxed, or left in its natural finish. 
High class enamel jobs, with hand rubbed finish, have lasted 


as long as twenty years without repainting. 


Redwood Not High Priced 


The price of Redwood compares very favorably with that of 
other woods used for similar purposes, for most of which uses 
Redwood’s unusual adaptability and long life makes it really 
more economical. Being lighter than other woods, the item of 
freight is consequently reduced. 


Trademark 

Wherever practical our trademark is placed directly upon the 
product. In cases where shipping tags are used the trademark 
appears upon the tag. All Redwood siding is plainly marked 
with the trademark, surface measure, grade and size. Door 
and window frames are stamped with trademark. Moulding 
bundles are tagged with trademark, total number of pieces, 
lineal measurements and pattern. Shingles in bundles are 
marked with trademark and grade. 


Information and Service 
All of our offices will be glad to consult with any builder 


concerning his needs and advise as to the suitability of Redwood 
and its economical use. Inquiries will receive prompt attention.

The day has passed when it will do simply 
to specify a ‘‘one-inch thick’’ board. A 
one-inch rough green board and a one-inch 
rough dry board, both dressed alike (and 
allowing for similar shrinkage) result in 
decidedly different thicknesses of finished 
lumber.

Wright Rubber Floor Tile and Stair Tread 


Manufactured by 
WRIGHT RUBBER PRODUCTS COMPANY 


RACINE, WISCONSIN 


Products: 


Wright Rubber Tile Stair 
Treads and Cove Bases are 
made of a composition of 
wear-re- 


rubber and other 


sisting materials, prepared 
by an exclusive process to 
give long and _ satisfactory 
service. The tile is made 
both with and without In- 
ter-lapping Flaps. These 
Flaps lock the Tile to the 
floor. Wright Tile Lays 
Flat and Stays Flat. Cor- 


ners can’t come up. 


The interlapping flaps of 


Wright Rubber Tile 
squares locks the Tile to 
the floor underneath the 
surface so corners can’t 


come up. 


Wright Rubber Tile may 
be used over either wood 
or concrete floors. Ex- 
clusive interlapping flaps 
insure flat, permanent 
floor. 


Trade Mark 


Principal Uses 


For covering the floors of sun parlors, kitchens, bath- 
rooms, pantries, entrance and other halls, billiard and 
recreation rooms, or any room where a durable, clean, 
noiseless floor covering of fine appearance is desired. 
Because of its resiliency it is easy on the feet and greatly 
reduces breakage,—an important feature in kitchens. 


Being water proof it makes ideal floor for bathrooms 
and entrance halls. 


Sizes and Patterns: 


Wright Rubber Tile comes in standard sizes 4 inches 
square and 6 inches square, and in 44 inch and 3/16 
inch thicknesses. Borders come in strips 18 inches 
wide, cut to lengths 18 inches and 36 inches. It is not 
necessary to cut diagonal tile (used on floors layed 
diagonally) on the job because Wright Rubber Tile 
can be furnished in half tile sections. Both tile and 
borders may be had in a wide range of flat tone colors 
and mottled effects to harmonize with any surround- 
ings. Many pleasing and novel effects can be had with 
Wright Rubber Tile. 


The floor of this beautiful kitchen is laid with Wright 


Tile. Note the white strip between each tile. 


Easily cleaned and sanitary too. 


Because Wright Rubber Tile is waterproof and non- 
staining, it makes ideal floor for bath rooms.

there is no tendency to absorb 
water or harbor dust or germs.

MAPLE, BEECH and BIRCH FLOORINGS 


MAPLE FLOORING MANUFACTURERS ASSN. 


1067 Stock Exchange Building 
Chicago, Il. 


Characteristics 

Although Maple, Beech and Birch repre- 
sent a versatile range as far as color possi- 
bilities and uses are concerned, the three 
woods are closely related in general charac- 
teristics. 


Long Wear. All these woods are close- 
grained, hard-fibred, free from slivers and 
splinters. Friction merely polishes them, 
even increasing their wearing qualities. 
Test after test shows that Beech and Birch 
wear like Maple—and Maple outwears 
stone. 


Cieanliness. Maple, Beech and Birch are 
exceptionally clean and sanitary, since the 
closeness of their grain and smoothness of 
their surface afford no lodging space for 
dirt or germs. They can be wiped smooth 
and clean easily and quickly with a cloth 
or an oil mop. 


Natural Beauty. Due to their leadership 
in wearing qualities, these woods have some- 
times been stressed for service uses, to the 
exclusion of any consideration of their 
beauty. Yet their rich beauty has been an 
important factor in making them the choice 
for fine homes, apartments, hotels and 
clubs everywhere. 


Color Possibilities 


Maple shows an attractive golden hue 
when waxed or varnished—it is literally a 
‘‘floor of captive sunlight’’ which mellows 
and ripens with passing years. The rare 
beauty of Maple Flooring is apparent to 
everyone in ballrooms, where Maple is al- 
most universally chosen for its beauty as 
well as for its cushioning comfort beneath 
eliding feet. 

While Maple does not lend itself to stain- 
ing, Beech and Birch, supplying qualities

of endurance closest to those of Maple, will 
take a variety of stains which open oppor- 
tunities for rich and distinctive color har- 
monies in flooring. 


Staining Beech and Birch 

It is important, in choosing a flooring 
wood for staining, to avoid any wood which 
has such a fibrous structure that prevents 
the even penetration of the stain. The 
grain pattern of both Beech and Birch is a 
delicate tracery, without fibrous ridges. 
Stains penetrate Beech and Birch evenly. 
Either wood makes an attractive floor and 
possesses a wearing quality which will make 
the attractiveness last. 

The preference for dark floors in many 
residential buildings has therefore brought 
a rapidly growing use of Beech and Birch. 
Their hardness—plus their susceptibility to 
staining—sets them in a class by them- 
selves for these particular purposes. 


Individual Features 

Maple. This flooring is dense, strong, 
heavy, very hard, and is supremely durable. 
The color of the heartwood is brownish 
and the sapwood is much lighter. The 
erain is close—sometimes curly or birdseye. 

Maple has unusual ability to resist 
pointed pressure without abrasion. It 
takes a high polish but is too tight-grained 
for extensive staining. 


Beech. This wood shows slightly more 
grain pattern than Maple and has slightly 
more color when varnished or waxed. In 
physical properties it is so like Maple that 
it is frequently used in Maple’s stead. 
Beech takes a beautiful stain. 


Birch. The ability of Birch to take 
color stain is well known. The fact that is 
ordinarily not known about both Beech and 


1067 Stock Exchange Bldg, 
Chicago, Ill. 


See Next Page 


MAPLE, BEECH AND BIRCH FLOORINGS— (Continued) 


Birch is that the natural wood takes a ecol- 
orful finish and makes a beautiful and serv- 
iceable floor. 


Faces for Various Uses 


Maple, Beech and Birch are made in a 
variety of faces (widths) to fit each type of 
use. Those most commonly used in homes 
and apartments are the 2” and 214” faces. 


There is a growing tendency among home- 
builders, however, to use the wider (314”) 
or narrower (114”) face, where certain 
special effects are desired. 


For Colomal Homes-—a wider face. The 
use of 314,” face flooring is particularly de- 
sirable in the Colonial home since this face 
reproduces accurately the wide flooring of 
the quaint old dwellings of a century past. 
344” face floorings, moreover, can be laid 
more rapidly and with less labor than the 
narrower faces. 


For Dainty Effects—a narrower face. 
For rooms where an effect of daintiness is 
desired, 144” face is gaining wide favor. 
The narrowness of this face brings the sort 
of individual beauty so often found in ob- 
jects finely made. 


A New Floor over an Old. The most gen- 
erally used thickness for Maple, Beech or 
Birch floorings in dwellings is 25/32”. 
However, there is a special ‘‘thin’’ flooring 
which ean be laid right over an old floor, 
bringing new beauty as well as added value 
to the home. 


This is a 34” thickness. Such a floor can 
be laid without disturbing doors or wood- 
work. It is matched on sides and ends and 
all nailing is concealed. Its surface can be 
waxed or varnished. And the three woods 
offer every possibility of ‘‘color harmony.”’ 


Guarantee 

MFMA Flooring is guaranteed by the 
Association to be properly graded and 
manufactured. Provision is made for in- 
spection by an official inspector of the 


Association, should doubt arise regarding 
flooring manufactured under the MFMA 
trademark. Proper adjustment will be 
made in the event that the flooring does not 
conform to MF MA standards.

The Charm of Oak Floors 


There is nothing more attractive in a home than a 
earefully laid and properly finished floor of Oak. 
The lustrous finish reflects the forms of furniture, and 
serves as a decorative background for rugs and hang- 
ings. Oak is the floor without a peer, the floor that 
needs no apology, but is universally accepted as the 
highest possible type of flooring. 

Oak Flooring has many outstanding advantages, 
not the least of which is the fact that the cost of Oak 
Flooring is within the reach of everyone who wants 
a floor of permanence, a floor of lasting beauty and 


distinction. Oak floors do not deteriorate with age,

Durability 


Oak Floor- 
ing once laid

problem for - 
ever. An Oak 
floor will out- 


te’ x 214” Face 


last the house itself and remain always the beautiful 
foundation of the room, its beauty lasting through 
the years to become a treasured heirloom from genera- 
tion to generation. 

Flooring strips are made to fit accurately, with 
tongue and groove manufactured according to stand- 
ard measurements, making a tight continuous floor 
of unbroken surface. Strips are end-matched provid- 
ing additional firmness in the floor. 


Cleanliness 


Oak floors are clean and sanitary and require very 
little effort to keep them in that condition—just a 
little freshening up at frequent intervals. There are 
no erevices to accumulate dirt or dust. 


Economy 


The first cost of an oak floor is practically the 
last. By selecting different grades for bedrooms and 
hallways than for principal rooms, the cost may be 
kept down to a very reasonable figure. With a little 
thought, combinations can be worked out that will 
keep the total flooring cost within a set limit of 
expenditure and avoid the substitution of flooring 
that lacks the beauty, durability and other advantages 
of oak flooring. The lower grades of oak flooring, 
so called, are just as durable as the higher grades. 


For Remodeling Jobs 


Lay Oak flooring over old worn ordinary floors. 
No woodwork need be torn up; the old floor be- 
comes a useful sub- 
floor. The cost for 
each room will be 
considerably less than 
that of many articles 
of furniture, and the 
result will be a per- 
manent beautiful floor 
that will never need 
replacement. 


Adding a Room 


Turn the attic into a clean, attractive place for 
children to play, where they can romp to their 
heart’s content, by laying Oak flooring over the rough 
boards. 


Increased Value 


An Oak floored home is always worth more, whether 
for rental or sale, as oak flooring is recognized as 
a standard appointment in a modern home.

CROMAR Ready Finished OAK FLOORING 


Laid and Used the Same Day 


Manufactured only by The CROOKS-DITTMAR COMPANY, Williamsport, Pennsylvania 


Product 

CROMAR, an oak flooring milled 
from the finest oak grown, completely 
scraped, sanded, filled, varnished and = 
waxed at the CROMAR Plant, by : 
patented machines. |__g 

Saves Time and Labor 

Because CROMAR is completely 
finished at the factory, like furniture, 
all there is left to do is to nail it down. 
This results in great saving of time 
and labor, and enables the contractor 
and builder to handle the floor-laying 
job himself instead of subletting it. 
He can therefore bid lower, make a 
quicker sale or rental with quicker 
money return, and still give the home- 
owner the best oak flooring he can 
buy, and at no more than the price of 
a good rug. 


Laid and Used the Same Day 
CROMAR is also ideally suited for 


re-laying jobs. Because of the speed 


Finished at the Factory by Patented Machines 

Finishing CROMAR completely at the factory (be- 
fore shipping instead of after laying) means cutting the 
usual 7 operations down to only 1 operation:—

The Cleanable Groove Appeals to the 
Experienced Housekeeper 


The shallow, rounded groove of CROMAR is so important a 
feature that it has been patented. It eliminates a fault very common. 
to ordinary hardwood floors. Shrinkage of the boards or settling of 
the house opens up square cracks between the strips. Square cracks 
pack with dirt, making unsightly dark streaks that cannot be re- 
moved. Not so with CROMAR. There is the neatly rounded 
groove, only 1 /40th of an inch deep, from which the dust is easily

feature, this con-

right over the floors of an old home, 
contractors can handle a _ greater 
number of jobs with the same number 
of men. Such inside contracts turn a 
dull winter into a profitable one. And 
home-owners naturally appreciate the 
fact that two carpenters can lay 
CROMAR at the rate of a room a day 
—climinating all the dreaded con- 
fusion and dirt of a week or two, in- 
volved in the use of unfinished flooring.

CROMAR Machines Produce 
Mere Beautiful Lustre 


Machine finishing produces a more uniformly lustrous surface 
which is comparable only to that of fine furniture. There are no 
scraper marks or uneven brush strokes on a CROMAR Floor. Ma- 
chines work more evenly than the best skilled hand. 


CROMAR Will Stand the Hardest Wear 


CROMAR’S matchless finish is hard! No handwork can dupli- 
cate the power of patented machines as they apply filler, varnish 
and wax at the CROMAR Plant. Not only is every pore of the 
wood filled, but the filler is driven deep into the oak. Thus 
the oil from the varnish is not absorbed. The, varnish retains its 
elasticity and does not flake or scratch white. This is one of the 
ways in which CROMAR saves a contractor much trouble from 
causes beyond his control. Let your customers make the famous 
CROMAR Hammer Test— you can dent the wood of course, but 
you cannot flake off the varnish. 


Back and Edges are also Protected 
against Moisture 


Often the most perfectly seasoned flooring will warp or shrink 
because the under-side of ordinary flooring has no protection from 
moisture. CROMAR is the only flooring we know of that is treated 
on all surfaces. Jn addition to all of its other patented advantages, 
CROMAR receives a supplementary treatment with a moisture- 
resisting compound that completely covers backandedges. CROMAR 
is thus protected from dampness coming up from below, so common

Improved V-Joint Type of Tongue and Groove 
is Quicker and Cheaper to Lay 


The laying of CROMAR Flooring is one of the simplest and easiest jobs in the 
construction of a building. It is no more difficult when re-laying in an old house. 
Each CROMAR strip is perfect. The improved V-joint type of CROMAR tongue 
and groove fits closely and evenly, without “‘blocking.” Each nail hole is punched. 


The flat, beveled edge of the 
tongue permits quick, accurate 
%" x14" 2 ie nailing without any necessity 
ra = <> whatever of “‘setting”’ the heads. 
SUB-FLOOR. Soe trained, highly paid 
floor-layers are not needed. 
CROMAR is Available 


in Two Beautiful Finishes 


Light finished CROMAR shows the lustrous, brilliant color 
which has been identified with the finest hardwood flooring for 
so many, many years. Lately however, there has sprung up a 
demand for a Dark finished flooring. To meet this demand, 
CROMAR Weathered Oak Flooring was developed. 


Its beauty is more restrained, and its more neutral tone 
harmonizes well with any decorative scheme. For these 
reasons, Weathered Oak CROMAR appeals to the artistic 
sense of many home-owners, and is often preferred by archi- 
tects and interior decorators. The finish of Weathered Oak 
CROMAR consists of a deeply penetrating stain and two coats 
of a very hard-drying wax. This waxed finish is more easily 
kept up than a varnish or shellac finish, since worn spots can 
be quickly renewed by simply rubbing a little wax on the 
surface. And, though the dark finish will show dust a little 
more plainly, it does not show dirt and black marks which 
become so conspicuous on the light-finished floor. 


Perfectly Packed; Dimage and Soiling 


The strips are packed face to face, 18 or 24 pieces to 
a bundle. Bundles are clamped in a press, edges pro- 
tected with crating, and bound with strap 
iron to prevent rubbing. Fastened so 
tightly together, it is impossible for strips 
to work loose. ‘Thus they are made light- 
proof, dirt- and dust-proof. Each bundle 
is stenciled with grade and quantity, so 
the material can be stored, without un- 
crating, until ready for use. Loss from 
broken tongues and grooves, split ends and 
damaged faces is completely eliminated. 


Dark Finished CROMAR 
(Weathered Oak Finish) 


Both finishes are beautiful, and the choice remains one of 
ght personal preference.

Letters Expressing Satisfaction with the 
Beauty and Wear of CROMAR 

—and the ease and speed with which CROMAR is laid—received 
from Contractors, Architects, Dealers and Home-Owners—are kept 
on file for reference by anyone interested. Here are a few merely to 
indicate the general tone of this gratifying correspondence from every 
section of the country :— 


From a Contractor 


From a Dealer 
“How soon could you duplicate our last carload order? We just 
landed a large order for an apartment house . . . and fully expect to 
sell two other apartment houses now under construction. We are 
very much pleased with your flooring and feel that it is far ahead of 
ordinary oak flooring due to its fine finish, better grades, the moisture- 
proofing, and the fact that it is inexpensive to lay.” 


SOMERS LUMBER CO., Atlantic City, N. J. 
From a Home Owner 


“We are very enthusiastic about your product and we think it will 
take the place of all other hardwood floors, at least in this vicinity. 
We have at present orders for houses being built for better than 
10,000 feet of CROMAR.” 

EDWARDS CONSTRUCTION CO., Edwardsville, Il. 


From an Architect 


“The writer has in the past six months specified CROMAR Flooring 
in connection with the erection of a number of residences. I feel that 
if you would be good enough to send me the convincing sample of 
CROMAR, I could close with one or two more clients at this time.”’ 

F. McC. CROOKS, Pittsburgh, Pa. 


(Needless to say, the samples were sent, as they will be sent to 
anyone interested.) 


“About a year ago I installed your finished hardwood flooring in 
one room of my house to ascertain whether it would be suitable 
over an old floor in rather poor condition. This floor has proven so 
satisfactory that I have ordered enough from my lumber dealer to 
complete the remaining rooms. Kindly send me a can each of 
CROMAR Liquid Cleaner and CROMAR Body Wax.” 

W. L. DURAND, New York, N. Y. 


From a Builder 
“Tt is little more than a year since [ laid the first CROMAR floor in 
St. Petersburg. Today it is being specified for the finest new homes, 
not to speak of occupied dwellings. For example, the last lot I 
used went into a new residence costing $80,000.” 


CHAS. M. KNAPP, St. Petersburg, Fla. 


These Photographs Show Buildings with CROMAR Floors 


—and are intended only to picture the fact that CROMAR is the ideal hardwood flooring for every type of building. CROMAR is beautiful enough 
for the most pretentious residence yet economical enough for the most modest. And it is the only logical oak flooring for the re-laying of old floors.

RITTER APPALACHIAN OAK FLOORING 


Manufactured By 


W. M. RITTER LUMBER COMPANY 


America’s Largest Producer of Hardwood Lumber 


General Offices: 115 E. Rich Street, Columbus, Ohio 


Be careful in the selection of the 
flooring for your new home if you 
would avoid disappointment after its 
completion. The sharp differences in 
the character of the grain, texture and 
color of the various brands of flooring 
make discrimination imperative—for 
the floors of the home can add to or 
detract from the harmony of the en- 
tire interior decorative scheme. 


Quality 

The fewer the number of species of 
oak involved, the better the kiln dry- 
ing and the greater the uniformity of 
color obtained. RITTER Appalachian 
White Oak is produced from but two 
species. RITTER Appalachian Red 
Oak is produced from but three 
species. 

Oak flooring, if it is to give the 
maximum of beauty and satisfaction, 
must be made from Oak of fine grain, 
even texture and more uniform color, 
enabling the workmen to lay and 
scrape with ease and economy in such 
a way as to give, when finished, a 
smooth,uniform appearance, free from 
irregularities, and pleasing to the eye. 


All RITTER Appalachian Oak Flooring is made of 
oak grown in the Appalachian mountains which em- 
bodies these essential qualities. For these reasons, floors 
laid with RITTER Flooring are unusually beautiful, 
fine in grain, even in texture, uniform in color and 


economical to lay and finish. 


Reasons for the Greater Beauty 
of Ritter Flooring 


Floor beauty is largely a matter 
of timber growth. Granted that the 
flooring is well manufactured, prop- 
erly handled, and well laid, the 
charm of the completed floor goes 
back to the forests in which the 
timber originates. 

How appropriate the timber is de- 
pends principally on where it was 
grown. Oak grown in low, swampy 
areas, although suitable for many 
purposes, is usually of coarse, flashy 
grain and uneven texture, due to 
fast growth and the resultant wide 
growth rings. Such oak is. not 
adapted to the production of floor- 
ing of the same character of beauty 
as highland oak of fine, subdued 
grain and uniform texture. 


Highland oak, particularly that 
from the Appalachian Region, on the 
other hand. possesses fine grain, 
close, even texture and more uni- 
form color—qualities so essential to 
the truly beautiful floor. These char- 
acteristics are due to slow growth 
in the elevated and well drained 
areas of the Appalachian mountains, 
where there is an abundance of 
oxygen and nitrogen, where the 
tree roots are well aerated, all re- 
sulting in the comparatively thin 
cell wall found in oak of desirable 
texture. 


Beauty 


RITTER Appalachian Oak Floor- 
ing, embodying all the qualities de- 
sired in Oak flooring, gives charm and 
elegance to the home. Many archi- 
tects and builders have discovered the 
fact that the results desired in treat- 
ment, finish and resultant beauty in 
final appearance, can be more success- 
fully obtained by using RITTER 
Appalachian Oak than in any other 
way. RITTER Appalachian Oak floor- 
ing is not only made from the finest 
of timber, properly seasoned and 
manufactured, but in addition it is 
stored in warm rooms from the time 
it is manufactured until it is shipped 
to its final destination, thus assuring 
to its users, the maximum of satis- 
faction. 


Cost 


The slight additional cost for this 
material is far more than made up 
through the economy in laying, scrap- 
ing and finishing, and in the satisfac- 
tion of having the dignity, tone and 
beauty characteristic of floors made 
of RITTER Appalachian Oak, and in 
increased resale value. 


For Every Requirement 

RITTER Flooring is made in standard grades and 
sizes. No matter what the requirement, there is a grade 
of RITTER Flooring to care for it. Each possesses the 
same fundamental qualities that have made “Ritter 
Brand” the acknowledged superior in the oak flooring 


field. 


Remember 


The standard rules for grading Oak Floor- 
ing give consideration to such imperfections 
as knots, worm holes, sap, splits, and similar 
defects, but they do not give consideration to 
grain, texture or color; therefore, to be 
assured of beautiful Oak floors, it is neces- 
sary, in addition to specifying the grade de- 
sired, to specify also that the flooring ordered 
must be manufactured from Appalachian Oak. 
The easiest and surest way of securing a 
satisfactorily finished floor is to insist on

Andersen Standard White Pine Window Frames 


Manufactured by 
ANDERSEN LUMBER COMPANY 


Bayport, Minnesota 


Products: 


Andersen Standard White Pine Window 
Frames, White Pine Door Frames, Cellar 
Sash Frames and Barn Sash Frames. 


Over Twenty Years’ Experience: 

Since 1904 this company has specialized 
in the manufacture of standard window 
frames and in that time over 5,000,000 
Andersen Frames have been installed in 
homes throughout the nation. 


Genuine White Pine for All 
Exposed Parts: 


All exposed parts of Andersen Frames—the outside 
casing, drip cap, mouldings and sills—are made of 
Genuine White Pine. This wood is recognized as the 
best wood for out-of-door use because it withstands the 
effects of the elements without shrinking, warping, 
rotting, swelling or creeping. It requires less paint 
and holds it longer than other woods and the texture 
is such that good machine work gives perfect results. 
This is the same wood as was used in the nation’s 
oldest standing homes—not West-

Only Seven Units that Come in 
Two Compact Bundles: 

The average window frame is made up ot 
57 different parts, the ordinary knock-down 
frame has 18 parts, but the Andersen Frame 
comes complete in only seven units. Com- 
plete plain cap head casings or moulded cap 
head casings with drip cap and moulding 
nailed in place are furnished as one member. 
A mitred piece of moulding for making the 
returns is fastened where it will remain 
until the building is sided. The sills are 
horned and cut exact. The side jambs are 
dadoed to fit the sill and have the pulleys screwed in 
place; the pockets cut, broken out and refastened with 
screws; and the blind and varting stops nailed ac- 
curately in place. 

Side casings are beveled to fit the sill and cut square 
on the upper end to the exact length. Blind and part- 
ing stops are cut exact, fitted for the sill and fastened 
in place. The head jamb comes complete with blind 
and parting stops cut exact and nailed in place. 

These seven units come packed 


ern, Oregon or California white 
pine, but the genuine old-fash-

Adaptable for Any Type 
cf House: 

In construction and in beauty 
of design Andersen Frames blend 
into almost any architectural style 
that the builder desires. Whether | 
the structure is of frame, brick or | 
stucco there is a style of Andersen 
Frame to meet the need. They 
offer the builder unlimited oppor-

they carry out the appearance de- 
sired. Even in period houses or 
in old colonial dwellings they 
impart a pleasing and artistic 
effect. In Andersen Frames ap- 
pearance has been combined with 
superior quality, ingenious con- 
struction and adaptability to a 
variety of building purposes.

in two compact bundles. The sill, 
head casing and head jamb com-

“Side Bundle.” Each bundle 
weighs less than twenty pounds, 
is plainly marked for size and 
bound with strip iron. 

There are no loose or frail parts 
to become lost or broken in transit 
or on the job.

| standard frames your Andersen 
dealer can supply you with 121

Head and Sill Bundle 


Andersen Frames Can be Put Up 
in Ten Minutes: 

So accurately are Andersen Frames constructed 
that no trimming or fitting is required on the job. 
Any carpenter with a hammer and nineteen nails 
ean put up an Andersen Frame in ten minutes. 
Compare the labor cost on the Andersen with the 
cost of assembling the eighteen parts of the or- 
dinary knock-down frame or the 57 parts of the 
average window frame. 


Keeps Out Wind and Water: 


Andersen Frames are built to give comfort and 
service and embody features that keep out wind 


Double Shoulder on Sill 


and water. he sills have double shoulders, the 
bottom sash rests against one and the storm sash 
or screen against the other, making it impossible 
for wind or water to enter. The groove under 
the front edge of the water drip prevents water from 
running back. On plain cap head casings, the water 
drip is rabbetted where it fits onto the casing insuring

tight fit and keeping water from running back. The 
parting stop groove is made shallower than the sill dado

so that the water hitting the parting stop groove drops

Construction of Subsill 
Frame 


Subsill frames can also be furnished. On these 
a shoulder on the sill fits into a subsill groove— 
another waterproof feature. 


High Grade Pulleys: 


The cast iron pulleys have 
polished and lacquered faces 
and wheels. The face is 1x4% 
inches; the wheel is 2 inches 
in diameter with a 4 inch 
steel axle. They are heavier 
and of better quality than 
most stock frame pulleys. In 
a recent test with a ball 
bearing pulley the ball bearing 
pulley was off its bearings 
after ten years use but the 
Andersen pulley was still 
running strong and true, ready 
for many more years. The 
pulleys are screwed in place 
and fit the mortise perfectly. 
The bundling method prevents 
breakage in transit. 


Saves Time on the Job: 

Everything possible is done at the factory to save time 
on the job. Every part that can be, is nailed in place and 
by combining the many parts saves the carpenter work. 
The pockets can be opened before or after casing up the 
window without injuring the pulley stile face. The blind 
stops are marked to show where the casing should be set. 

Specialization, modern factory methods and automatic 
machinery makes it possible to manufacture and assemble 
the many parts at less expense than the builder can: 
Frames made on the job can’t compete with machinery 
made frames either in accuracy or price. Special built 
frames can’t compete with the product of the large factory. 

When you consider that an Andersen Frame can be put 
up complete in ten minutes you can see their economy. 
The Genuine White Pine maintains the accurate construc- 
tion as long as the house lasts. 


Box Window Frames for Solid Walls: 

Andersen Box Window Frames for brick, tile, concrete 
and other solid walled buildings, embody the same high 
quality, accurate construction and Genuine White Pine as 
the standard window frames. Where possible they have 
the same time saving features and also special features that 
make them invaluable for their purpose. 


Have Your Dealer Show You: 

For further information about these frames see your 
Andersen dealer. If you don’t know his name write direct

Design 

Woodwork has two-fold importance in the home beautiful. 
{t is architecturally and structurally a part of the house itself, 
At the same time it strikes the keynote of the interior decora- 
tive scheme. Beauty in the home must begin with the wood- 
work. 

Realizing this two-fold importance, the makers of Curtis 
Woodwork have made available to contractors and home 
builders everywhere east of the Rockies, woodwork designs that 
conform to the most rigid requirements of the architect and 
interior decorator. Curtis designs were created especially for 
the Curtis Companies by Trowbridge & Ackerman, of New 
York City, architects who have designed some of the most 
expensive houses in America and done work that authorities 
say is “worthy to stand with the best work of all time.’’ The 
best houses in America and England have served as prototypes 
for Curtis designs; and the result is woodwork beautiful enough 
for the mansion but within the buying power of the builder 
of the most modest cottage. 


Construction 


These authentic designs are produced by Curtis according to 
very rigid specifications as regards materials, methods and 
workmanship. It is impossible to describe here all Curtis 
construction details in full. The examples of the rabbeted 
check rail used in Curtis double-hung windows; the panel 


Curtis Door Moldings—The cross-sec- 
tions on the left show the two types of 
moldings—ovolo and flush—used on all 
Curtis doors, and the construction of 
solid ‘‘raised’’ panels in softwood doors. 
In doors 1%4-inch thick these panels are 
1ys-inch thick; in 1%-inch doors, they 
are -inch thick. Thus they have 
greater strength and a heavier ‘‘raise’’ 
that gives the door beauty and interest 
not found in flatter panels. Note that 
the ovolo molding is one with the stile or 
rail, while the flush molding is ‘‘applied’’ 
to a spline set in a groove in the stile 
or rail so that as the panel expands and 
contracts the molding will not pull away 
from the frame of the door.

—The drawing at the right

Seven times as much wind 
pressure is required to get 
through this kind of a joint 
as an ordinary beveled check- 
rail,

Interior Trim 


thicknesses in Curtis softwood doors; and the lock-mitre joint 
in Curtis cabinetwork, must suffice. Study these carefully, for 
they are typical of the through-and-through goodness that only 
the Curtis trade-mark stands for. 


Price 

In spite of authentic design and superior materials and con- 
struction, Curtis Woodwork costs little or no more than 
ordinary millwork. When such expense items as cutting and 
fitting and sanding on the job are taken into account, Curtis 
Woodwork often costs less. Low cost has been made possible 
by large scale production and wide distribution. 


Deliveries 


Curtis Woodwork is instantly available, either from the 
Curtis Dealer, who usually stocks a large line, or through him 
from the nearest Curtis plant. There are no chances for 
delays, mistakes or expense, aS with made-to-order millwork. 
Your house is not held up waiting for the frames, trim, 
stairwork or cabinetwork, when you use Curtis Woodwork. 

Curtis Woodwork is sold everywhere east of the Rockies 
through lumber dealers who handle the line. The Curtis dealer 
nearest you will be glad to give you full information about 
the items he carries in stock and to show you his Curtis 
Catalog, which offers you a complete selection of Curtis designs, 
of which those shown here are merely examples. 

Or a letter to the Curtis Companies Service Bureau, 395 
Curtis Building, Clinton, Iowa, describing your requirements, 
will bring complete information and recommendations. 


Curtis Lock-Mitre Joint and Ordinary Nailed Butt Joint—In Curtis 
cabinetwork corners are made by the Curtis lock-mitre or tongue- 
and-groove joint. The pieces are glued, not nailed together. Result: 
No edge grain wood at the corner to mar the finished surface; no 
nail head holes; no open cracks; and a stronger joint. This same 
construction is used in making square newels. 


Curtis Lock-Mitre Joint Ordinary Nailed Butt Joint 

In Curtis cabinets with drawers, the drawer sides and ends are 
put together with dove-tailed corners; they cannot pull apart. The 
drawers ate slightly narrower in the back than in the front and 
they operate on center guides. These details prevent binding and 
jamming. The drawer bottoms are three-ply boards set in grooves 
in the sidés and ends all around; they cannot come loose and slip 
out at any point. Face stock in Curtis cabinets is 1¥%-inch thick; 
the wood is all carefully matched in both color and grain; and 
Gurtis construction is better than that found in much of the fine 
furniture on the market.

for homes, churches and public buildings is espe- 
cially valuable to the builder whese requirements 
are for woodwork of a special nature because of 
their ability to interpret plans and detail and to 
create woodwork adapted to the individual need. 


Permanence, Economy, Beauty 


The use of Hurd Woodwork throughout the build- 
ing will add much to its comfort, durability and low 
upkeep—fer, regardless of careful design and proper 
construction, a house can be no better than the material whicn 
goes into it. Hurd Woodwork is manufactured from only first 
quality lumber, properly seasoned and worked up under ideal 
conditions. Its use prevents sagging doors, jammed windows, 
warped panels, twisted mouldings and open cracks in interior 
woodwork. Because it is so well finished at the factory there is 
little or no additional work for the carpenter to do. Hurd Wood- 
work comes to the job full length, uniform in width and thick- 
ness and surfaced on all four sides. It is as nearly straight and 
true as good milling can make it and tongue and groove stock 
fit perfectly.

HURD WOODWORK— (Continued) 


Ritter Oak Flooring 

Elegance and dignity always make a strong appeal 
to those of discriminating judgment, particularly 
when these elements may be combined with utility. 

The use of hardwood flooring presents a striking 
example of such a combination. 

An oak floor, 
even in a modest 
home, adds _ so 
much to its attrac- 
tiveness and value 
that, from a mone- 
tary standpoint 
alone, it is a mis- 
take to use any 
other kind of floor- 
ing. Oak floors 
are practically in- 
destructible and 
under ordinary 
conditions will last 
a life time. 

Each species of 
dak possesses its in- 
dividual color and 
texture, the low- 
land oak being much coarser than oak grown in the 
Appalachian area where are found the finest hard- 
wood trees in the world. 

Chief among the factors contributing to the super- 
lority of Ritter Appalachian Oak Flooring is the re- 
markable quality of timber from which these woods 
are cut. Mild texture, uniformly fine, subdued grain 
and excellent color are characteristics of this flooring. 
Such qualities assure economy in working and finish- 
ing and afford unusual beauty in the finished product. 
Because of the extreme care used in the manufactur- 
ing, storing and shipping Ritter Oak Flooring will be 
found to lay easily and evenly with a minimum of 
effort and cost. 

Oak flooring is shipped from the nearest storage 
point. Write for prices and literature describing the 
uses for which various grades of oak flooring are 
adapted and methods of laying, scraping and finish- 
ing. 


A unique and pleasing effect is ob- 
tained with parquetry flooring laid in 
herringbone style. 


Aromatic Tennessee Red Cedar 

Red cedar lined closets offer practical and conven- 
ient year round storage for furs and woolens. 

The aromatic fragrance of Tennessee Red Cedar is 
very pleasant and acts as an efficient moth deterrent.

Miracle Doors 


The Miracle Door has been endorsed by architects 
and received enthusiastically by the entire building 
industry. 

The Miracle Door combines the simplicity of the 
one panel door with the richness of a moulded design. 
Because of its appearance of weight the 18%” thick- 
ness fills requirements which ordinarily demand an 
inch and three-quarters door. The smooth, sanitary 
surface adapts it for use in place of a flush door at 
a great saving in cost. 

Made in a variety of both hard and soft woods, the possi- 
bilities of staining Miracle Doors and using them in connection 
with varied wall treatments is unlimited. They adapt them- 
selves to the many styles of architecture and are suitable for 
buildings of practically every type. 

A complete assortment of Miracle Doors are carried in stock 
and prompt delivery may be had on standard dimensions. Other 
sizes made to order. Panel doors can be readily changed to 
mirror doors by applying the mirror mould. 


The Handy Ironing Board Cabinet 


= A cabinet designed for 
convenience and utility at 
a very moderate price. 
Manufactured from clear 
white pine with braces 
and all wearing parts of 
hardwood, it will not 
shift or wobble, rigidity 
being secured by using a 
laminated hardwood panel 
in the back. 

Both boards are shaped 
so that pad or clothes 
may be worked without 
difficulty. The doors in 
two sections, the lower 
section serving as a‘sup- 
port for the board,;and 
being so arranged that 
skirts and dresses can be 
ironed full length. Sock- 
ets may be wired at side 
or bottom. 

The cabinet is made to 
line up with 6-8 doors;

First Impression 


It is the entrance that gives the first im- 
pression of the home. <A. beautiful and 
well manufactured door always carries a 
message of welcome, and prepares the ar- 
riving guest for the hospitality that is to 
be extended to him. 

We all want homes to express character ; to reflect our ideals 
of the better things of life. And here the door with its first 
vital impression must be expressive of hospitality and good taste. 

Quality in the door is essential. It must open quickly and 
smoothly, close easily and securely. It must not shrink, swell 
or warp.

MORGAN Flush or Sanitary doors are recognized by leading Architects as the highest of 
standard door value based on Merit and Construction. 

The core, or foundation, is built of softwood sections, thoroughly kiln dried, using our Wedge 
Dowel construction, with six-inch stiles and top rail and twelve-inch bottom rail. This foundation part

In modern architecture the Colonial type

very popular. Here a Colonial Morgan en-

is quite the correct thing to use. 

At the left is a modern design entrance 
(M-60) that can be installed at a very 
nominal cost and will prove wonderfully 
satisfactory as time goes on. 

The bungalow design entrance shown 
below at the left (M55) has proved a very

deserving. The door of the flush type

RODDIS FLUSH DOORS 


Manufactured by 
RODDIS LUMBER & VENEER COMPANY 


MARSHFIELD, WISCONSIN 
Branch Offices in All Principal Cities throughout the World. 


Description 


Roddis Flush Doors are of five-ply construction and 
differ from the panel-type of door in that the five plies 
of wood run solidly from top to bottom with no panels 
or moldings. In appearance, these Doors are one piece 
of solid wood, with smooth unbroken surfaces of great 
natural beauty. 


Exc_usive Features and Merits 


By installing Roddis Flush Doors, the building profits 
from these advantages which are obtainable in no other 
make of doors. They should be recommended in all 
cases where these features are wanted: 


(1) Fire-resisting. They may be depended upon to 
bar the spread of flame from any room they guard. 


(2) Soundproof. The solid thickness of wood serves 
as a positive blanket for noise. 


(3) Sanitary. There are no panels, no moldings, no 
cracks to gather and to hold dust or dirt. 


(4) Impervious to moisture. Waterproof glue through- 
out renders these Doors immune to harm from 
water. 


(5) They can not shrink, swell, sag, warp, separate 
nor check—regardless of severity of usage. 


(6) They are guaranteed to deliver 
perfect performance and will be 
replaced if found defective. 


(7) They are the most beautiful doors 
procurable. No unsightly panels 
or moldings mar the broad sur- 
faces of natural wood. 


(8) They can be had in any desired 
wood for finishing in any specified 
manner; and inlaid, to answer 
any decorative scheme. 


Construction 


All Roddis Doors are of the exclusive 
design of five-ply construction as illustrated. 

The core is of softwood blocks uneven in 
length to absorb any tendency toward warp- 
age. These are cemented with waterproof 
glue, providing a core of unchangeable shape 
and size with multiple the strength of a one- 
piece core. 

Around the core—top, bottom and both 


sides—is an edge-strip of hardwood %4 inch thick ap- 
pled with waterproof glue. This contributes added 
strength and seals the core from moisture at the edges; 
also furnishing a smooth edge for hardware. 

The cross band of strong veneer, jg inch thick, is 
glued over the two sides of the door, the grain of the 
veneer running across the door. ‘This seals the two 
faces against moisture. With the edge-strip, it locks 
the core in an airtight compartment—the core can not 
change from its original dimension. 

The surface veneer, 7; inch thick, is applied with the 
grain running vertically. This may be of any wood 
desired to conform with interior decorative plans. 

Under a hydraulic press, the assembled door is 
squeezed into permanent alignment. It is given a 
true, square and even surface which is retained under 
severest service conditions. 

The flush door is unlike the stile-and-rail type in 
surface, weight and construction. It is five plies of 
wood and waterproof glue, from top to bottom. 

We are practically the originators of the flush door 
in a commercial way and have made no change in this 
basic construction for 18 years. 


Veneers 

Unless otherwise specified, ;4;-inch veneer is used on 
all doors. Long experience proves the correctness of 
this specification. Fine pianos and furniture use 
veneer 1/24 or 1/28 inch thick. 


Detail of Roddis Door Construction 
A—Surface veneer of desired wood for finishing. 
B—Cross banding veneer sealing faces of the core. 
C—Hardwood edgestrip 34 inch thick on all edges. 
D—Core of narrow soft-wood strips glued to provide unchangeable 
foundation for veneers.

Inlays 


Inlays are furnished in any 
design, in plain or fancy woods. 
Crests, numbers, names and 
special designs can be supplied. 
Before inlaid, doors should be 
stained in order to protect the 
inlay. This is important and 
should be handled at our plant. 


Guarantee 


This Company unconditionally 
guarantees every Roddis Door 
and agrees to repair or replace 
without charge any doors that 
within two years should be found 
defective in workmanship or ma- 
terial. 


Gain in Beauty 
Save in Cost 


Not only is a room of far 
greater lasting beauty obtained 
by using Roddis Flush Doors but 
the cost is no more than that of 
trimming rooms the old way, 
using the common, old-style panel 
door. 

Instead of using an expensive 
hardwood for the trim, a _ big 
saving is effected by using gum, 
fir or some other low-priced wood. 
This is painted or enameled 
either a glossy or egg-shell finish 
of white, ivory, pearl gray or 
similar light color. The walls are 
done in color to harmonize. 

Against this background, the 
Roddis Flush Doors stand out in 
rare beauty. The result is a room 
bright and cheery, of modern ap- 
pearance, and devoid of the same- 
ness of one finish of wood 
throughout. 


For all Buildings 
Small and Large 


Roddis Flush Doors are suited 
equally to small homes and larg- 
est buildings. Prominent hotels, 
hospitals, apartments, schools, 
public buildings and attractive 
homes in all sections of the coun- 
try have used them for many 
years. As few or as many Doors 
as needed can be bought. 


Always in Stock 
24 Hours Shipments 


These Doors are carried in all 
standard sizes and are ready for 
instant shipment. Special Doors 
to meet architects’ specifications 
are produced as needed. Inlay

furnishings. The Door’s broad surface of natural wood blends with the large pieces of well- 
finished furniture. The Door is of mahogany and adds to the decorative value of the room.

e 

What Laminex Is 

We offer in Laminex a moderate- 
priced door with all the advantages of a 
built-up or veneer door—and none of 
the disadvantages. Laminex will not 
shrink, swell or warp, because the 
stiles, rails and panels are built-up and 
the grain of adjoining sections so 
crossed that all expansion and contraction are 


Laminex waterproof cemented panels, and 


equalized. 


Woco Garage Doors. 


We have perfected a waterproof cement which 


Old-growth Douglas Fir is used exclu- 
sively in our products. 


Resources and Experience 

THE WHEELER, OSGoop ComMPANY, established in 1889, 
are pioneers in the manufacture of Douglas Fir doors and 
fir sash. Our production of doors is the largest in the world. 
According to U. S. Department of Commerce figures, we pro- 
duced nearly 10% of the American output in 1924. 

We own a large stand of fine, old-growth Douglas Fir 
and operate our own logging camps, lumber mill and door 
factories. 


Water Test—24 
hours’ soaking 
showed complete 
absence of warp- 
ing in Laminex 
doors. All parts of 
the doors. re- 
mained rigid and 
strong. 


Heat Test — 24

mercial dry kiln at 
185° F., with hu- 
midity of 30%.

Strength Test— 
Laminex panels, in 
a 200,000-lb. Olsen 
testing machine, 
stood an average 
load of 912 lb. on 
a square-inch sur- 
face without rup- 
turing. 


Scientific Tests 
Laminex doors, taken at random out of stock, were tested for 
effect of moisture and heat and for strength by Prof. Bror L. Gron- 
dal in the Forest Products Laboratory, University of Washington, 


TRADE-MARK 


has withstood scientific tests—has gone through 
floods and exposure where doors of all other types 
and woods failed. 

Over a million Laminex doors are now in use, many of 
them in climates where excessive moisture or heat causes 
other veneered doors to separate, check, buckle and peel. 


Construction of Laminex Doors 

Several special features add to the remarkable strength 
and superiority of Laminex doors. 

Dowels—-Dowel construction as shown below. All Lami- 
nex and Woco doors have four wooden dowels in the bot- 
tom rail and two in the 
top rail. All dowels are 
5g in. in diameter and 
5 in. long. These give 
50% more strength and 
30% greater cementing 
surface than dowels 14% 
in. in diameter. 

Wedge Joint—tiIn 
building .the stiles and 
rails, a strip is dovetailed 
and cemented the entire 
length with a _ tight- 
wedged joint (see dia- 
gram below). When the 
200-lb. per square inch 
hydraulic pressure _ is 
exerted on each section 
and it is dried under this

Fresh Air for All: from storm, wind, dust, sun and view, making it ideal for 


For homes, offices, hotels, hospitals, schools, plants and 
everywhere ventilation is needed. Better health, longer life. 


The Allen Window gives an added value out of all pro- 
portion to the cost. The most important thing in life is 
health, and the greatest boon to health is pure air. Indoor 
life must be provided with fresh air or your physical and 
mental decay is only a matter of time. Pure air, the best 
medicine on earth, every minute of the day and night 
increases your pep and efficiency and repays the cost in a 
financial as well as a physical way many times over. Ven- 
tilating systems destroy the electrical vitality of the air, 
a window ventilator is needed with them. 


Automatic Ventilation: 


The panels can be set to close when the wind blows 
and open again when the air is still. You can regulate 
the panels to close easily with a light wind or to require 
a strong wind to close them. You can limit the opening 
of the panels or limit their closing to any degree desired. 
Never any direct draft. 


You can set the panels stationary at any angle, set 
them on a level and wash them from the inside, and in 
that position you can see out when florentine glass is used. 
When panels are closed they make a storm window. In 
any position they are burglar proof. One small lever does 
all the operating. You can limit the ventilating space. 


When made with florentine glass they are beautiful and 
combine in one device a window, an automatic ventilator, 
a stationary ventilator, a storm window, a shade, and a 
fly screen. It gives all the air and light with protection 


bath rooms and bed rooms, and whereyer privacy is desired. 
Plain glass is used when desired. 


Construction: 


Allen Windows and Ventilators are built to order on 
receipt of specifications. The Ventilators are designed to 
use with ordinary window sash and do not interfere in 
any way with the use of the regular window. The frame 
is made of non-rustable metal and the panels of any kind 
of glass desired cut six inches wide and overlap one-half 
when closed. 


Made in Five Styles: 


(1)—A Ventilator of three panels. 

(2)—A Ventilator of five panels. 

(8)—A Ventilator for the entire upper or lower sash. 

(4)—A Ventilator for the complete opening, as illustration 
above shows. 

(5)—A complete window having the ventilating panels, 
and a framed glass behind them that can be raised 
or lowered like the ordinary window, to limit the 
ventilating space. 

When the Ventilators are used the regular sash is raised 
or lowered to limit the ventilating space, but the complete 
Allen Window is more compact. These are made to take 
the place of the regular lower or upper sash or both sash 
as desired.

BESSLER DISAPPEARING STAIRWAYS 


Manufactured by 
THE BESSLER DISAPPEARING STAIRWAY CO., AKRON, O. 


The Bessler makes it profitable to use the attic or other 
room above because it takes up no space whatever in the 
room below. When not in use, the Bessler glides smoothly 
and noiselessly upward and disappears with only a neat 
panel visible from below. 

In making the attic conveniently available for clothes 
closet, bed room or other living room, the Bessler adds 
from $500 to $1000 to the value of any house because it 
takes up no space and does not disturb the arrangement 
of the room below. The cost of the Bessler is not more 
than one tenth of the value of the extra space it creates. 
It is cheaper even than the old fashioned space wasting 
box stairway. 

The Bessler is substantially and carefully made of the 
best materials. It is so well counterpoised by two spring 
drums that a child can raise and lower it with ease. 


It requires no extra care or attention, and it will last 
as long as the house. 

The smallest home can not afford to be without a Bessler 
because of the needed space it makes available. On the 
other hand, there are many hunadred-thousand-dollar homes 
that have one or two Besslers because of the convenience 
they afford. d F 

Besslers are installed just as easily in houses under 
construction or in old houses. Any carpenter can install 
one in a few hours. Clearly drawn directions accompany 
each stairway. 

Bessler Disappearing Stairways are tried and proved by 
15 years’ use. They are covered by twelve patents, with 
others pending. 

A Guarantee, as shown below, covers every Bessler. You 
take no chance in installing one. There are thousands 
giving perfect satisfaction all over the country.

The Attic Stair Problem 


Every builder knows the difficulty of providing for an attic stairway, 
particularly in the small home. It often means the sacrifice of room space 
or closet space that can ill be spared. In attempting to install a stationary 
stairs the room is often so reduced in size or cut up that it can only be used 


he aE Te A ; Cut shows stairs tucked away in the attic 
in a limited way and is a constant source of aggravation to the home owner. when not in use. Very little space is needed. 


On the other hand, the storage space in the attic is too valuable to be wasted 
and should be made accessible in some way. A hole in the ceiling is dangerous 
and inconvenient and because of this is a poor makeshift. 


The Solution 


The “Presto” Disappearing Stairway solves the problem. It occupies no 
space on the lower floor and but very little space in the attic. It consists 
of a strongly built flight of stairs, with rigid hand rail, mounted on a solid 
panel that closes into a frame set in the ceiling. When the stairs are not in 
use they are entirely out of the way in the attic, no part of the equipment 
visible on the floor below except the panel in the ceiling. A slight pull on 
a short chain hanging from one end of the panel causes the panel to swing 
down toward the floor and the stairs are then slid down the panel, the action 
of both panel and stairs being controlled by powerful counterbalancing springs 
that prevent any sudden movement. When stairs are no longer required a 
gentle push sends them back into the attic; the panel closes and is tightly 
held in place by the springs. 


The space thus made available both upstairs and

velvet lined cutlery drawer, cook book holders, 
extract rack, change tray—even an eight-piece 
glass set for spices, coffee, ete. 


Domestic Science Built-In Kitchen Units may 
be selected to meet the requirements of any 
kitchen, from a simple buffet section to a com- 
plete kitchen equipment including refrigerator, 
utility closets of various designs combining shelf 
and drawer space, and china closets.

nate waste space, waste materials, excessive work- 
ing time, and doubtful compromises as to kitchen 
arrangement. They determine beforehand an

Kitchen Maid Standard Unit System 


WASMUTH-ENDICOTT COMPANY 
ANDREWS, INDIANA 


Products: 


“Kitchen Maid” Standard Units—including Kitchen Cabinets, Dish Closets, 
Linen Cupboards, Broom Closets, In-a-wall Ironing Boards, Refrigerators, Divider 
Cupboards, Pulmanooks, and In-a-wail telephone seats. 


Kitchen Maid Standard Unit System: 


The “Unit Idea” organizes the kitchen into a complete 
system of compact storage and working units—each complete 
in itself yet built so that it can be used together with one 
or more other units, exactly according to the kitchen plans 
of the user. 


“Kitchen Maid” Standard Units are built to conserve space, 
save labor, organize kitchen work, and make the kitchen 
generally more efficient, clean and beautiful. They can be 
installed in kitchens already built or can be built into a 
kitchen specially designed to receive them. Units are stand- 
ardized in construction—made for economy as well as quality. 
They cost no more than old-fashioned cupboards.

“Kitchen Maid” kitchen cabinet brings to any kitchen 
a convenience and cleanliness which is practically 
indispensable. 


Aside from its many time-saving arrangements, the

the no-panel construction of doors and drawers which 
eliminates 78 old-fashioned corners. For convenience, 
it has a metal lined pastry compartment, tilting flour 
bin, extension norcelain work top, automatic sugar 


- jar, efficiency charts, condiment jars, skillet compart- 


ment, bread drawer with self-acting cover, and many 
other advantages.

“Kitchen Maid’”’ Refrigerators 

“Kitchen Maid” Refrigerators are built to 
conform to the most exacting requirements 
of mechanical refrigerating engineers. The 
materials, finish, workmanship—and most 
important of all, the insulation—are of the 
very highest type. 

Solidly built carrying out the smooth 
door style and excellent enamel finish 
of the remainder of the “Kitchen Maid” 
line these refrigerators are handsome and 
substantial. The interiors are lined with 
galvanized iron white enameled in the food 
compartments, insuring years of rust-resist- 
ing service. 

Good insulation, which is the fundamental 
requisite of good refrigeration, is insured 
by the use of two dead air spaces and one 
inch of pressed cork. This insulation is gen- 
erally accepted as the standard for good 
refrigerators. 


Broom Closet and [Ironing Board 
Combined 

Here is a unit which fits in any kitchen or 
cabinet combination—no need for a special 
opening in the wall, it sets anywhere. It 
holds an average vacuum cleaner, brooms, 
mops, and has a shelf for cans of polish or 
the electric iron, and besides, the ironing 
board, which is easily suspended flat against 


Sohne ae ee pone the door when not in use. 


Dish Closet 


The Vertical Dish Closet No. 70 contains five roomy 
shelves. This unit is used in combination with any of 


the cabinets and top cupboards and it also may be used 
alone in a corner of the kitchen or on an open wall 
space, providing valuable storage room for dishes, uten- 
sils, canned goods, etc. This unit may also be used as a 
linen and utility cupboard for the bathroom. 


“Kitchen Maid” Pulmanook 

The Pulmanook converts the kitchen into both 
kitchen and breakfast room. In a few seconds both 
table and chairs can be folded out of the way after use, 
leaving an open space for ironing or other purposes 
during the rest of the day. 

The table unfolds from a compact case. When closed 
it takes up practically no room. When open, it is a 
staunch and rigid table, large enough for four people. 
The chairs unfold from the wall and take up no space 
when folded. They make a substantial seat for persons 
of any weight. 

The Pulmanook is attractive, comfortable and solidly 
built. It has the added advantage of being able to be 
cleaned easily and quickly. |

Cedar 


For generations Cedar has been used and proved as one 
of the most lasting and weather-resisting of all woods. 


Western Red Cedar 

In our Great Northwest are the largest, oldest, and most 
perfect trees of the Cedar family. These Cedar trees are 
500, some over 1,000 years old, and up to 16 ft. in diam- 
eter. Many trees are found on the ground with trees 
several hundred years old grown over them, and the Cedar 
wood is sound. 


The Maltese Cross Cedar Mill 

Since 1890 the owners of this mill have specialized in 
Cedar; they have studied building requirements for dur- 
ability, attractiveness, comfort, upkeep, and other results. 
They have spent thousands of dollars experimenting, 
developing and perfecting machines and methods to furnish 
builders with Cedar products that will give the most 
satisfactory resnlts. 


Drying 

Some woods are better if kiln dried. Cedar gives better 
results and is more economical to use and for upkeep if 
natural air seasoned. Maltese Cross Cedar is strictly 
natural air seasoned. 


Seasoning 

Our Cedar lumber is carefully cross piled, 50 to 60 
feet high in the open, with the Hilke lumber piler, which 
was developed and patented by our mill manager. 


Trade-Mark 

Maltese Cross Cedar is the best known lumber Trade- 
mark, has been used since 1895, and is well known to build- 
ers, architects, and the lumber trade in the United States 
and some foreign countries. This trademark enables you 
to identify this Cedar product and obtain the benefits from 
using it.

Cost 

Maltese Cross Air Dried Cedar lumber, siding, and other 
items, do not cost any more. As it is air seasoned and 
manufactured by special machines, and special grades, the 
net cost is less. Cedar does not cost any more than similar 
soft woods, especially when the Cedar advantages are 
considered. 


Easy to Obtain 

A large percent of the retail lumber dealers have Maltese 
Cross Cedar in stock and your dealer can obtain it quickly 
from the mill or from wholesale distributing points. You 
cannot afford to accept substitutes. 


Wood Insulation 

Scientific tests show that wood is a _ better non-con- 
ductor of heat, cold, and moisture than any other building 
material. Lap or Bevel Siding is the best method in wood 
to obtain insulation. Air Dried Cedar because it does not 
swell, shrink, warp, or check is given the preference for 
Bevel Siding. 


Pitch and Resin 

There is no pitch or resin in Cedar. Easy to paint, holds 
paint, and does not require repainting as frequently as 
other woods.

Product 


Reswin Casements, standard- 
ized steel windows for residence 
use. While the sizes and types 
adopted as standard are designed 
primarily for homes, they may 
be used for dormitories, clubs 
and similar structures. 


Appearance 


Striking effects in residence 
exteriors may be obtained through 
the employment of Reswin Case- 
ments. At the same time, their 
slender, graceful beauty lends a 
homelike atmosphere to interiors, 
allowing many unusual forms of treatment. 


Comparison with Wood 


Wood windows often require the care of a car- 
penter to keep them working properly. When sash 
cords break, the trim must be removed and the paint 
finish injured. In dry weather, wood windows shrink 
to an extent where they rattle and admit air. In 
damp weather they swell to a point where they stick 
and are opened and closed with difficulty. These 
troubles are typical of double-hung or sliding win- 
dows. Casement windows of wood are also trouble- 
some. They almost invariably leak, even though ex- 
pensively weatherstripped. In a short time, the rack- 
ing they receive in opening and closing, causes them 
to deteriorate. Such faults are 
avoided by the use of steel case- 
ment windows. They always 
operate easily, are everlasting, 
and cost nothing for mainte-. 
nance beyond an occasional coat 
of paint. 


Shades and Drapes 


Shades may be used on steel 
casement windows if desired, 
but as the windows themselves 


are ornamental, their beauty need not be hidden by 
shades. They can be easily and simply draped to 
give a most attractive appearance. A light, neutral 
tinted draw curtain for control of light and a heavier 
overdrape for privacy is usually preferred for home 
use. 


Screens 

Reswin inward-opening casements may have sta- 
tionary screens on the outside. Such screens are as 
simple to apply as ordinary screens for wood windows, 
and are just as convenient. Outward opening ease- 
ments must have screens on the inside. These screens 
are arranged to slide past one another so that the case- 
ments may be reached. They may also be of a type 
that swings in, or a special piece of hardware may 
be applied at the sill to open the casements 
through the screens. The vari- 
ous arrangements are all shown 
in our catalog on Reswin Case- 
ments, free to anyone on request. 


Guaranteed Weather Tight 


When erected according to in- 
structions, Reswin Casements 
are guaranteed weathertight 
without the use of weatherstrips. 
This guarantee applies to both 
inward and outward opening 


types.

Inward Opening Casements Made Weatherproof 


Inward opening casements are easily 
draped and screened and as Reswin Case- 
ments are narrow they do not interfere 
with interior arrangements when they 
open in. Reswin Casements are guaranteed 


weather-tight whether they open in or out. 
Standard types. 28, 53, 83 and 113 are all 
hinged at the side to open in and may be 
used in attractive combinations with abso- 
iute certainty-that they will give no trouble. 


Combinations 


Standard types shown above 
may be combined to form 
almost any sized opening. Add 
the widths of the casements to 
obtain the opening width di- 
mension and add the heights 
of the casements to obtain the 
opening height dimension. All 
clearances and_ steel maullion 
connections are automatically 
cared for.

RESWIN CASEMENTS— (Continued) 


Cost and Quality 


These standard windows may be installed at a cost 
generally only slightly in excess of wood windows 
when the expense of hardware, fitting, extra paint- 
ing, ete., is all included. Such small extra cost makes 
it possible to use them in the smallest bungalow or 
cottage while the quality is such that these easements 
are suitable for use in the most expensive homes. 


Hardware 


Hardware on side hung casements consists of a 
solid bronze handle of pleasing design. At the head 
of the casement is attached a friction stay which is 
adjustable to meet local wind conditions. Bottom 
hinged transoms have a bronze spring catch for pole 
or hand operation and top hinged transoms have a 
bronze peg stay. 


Welds 


All four corners of both stationary frames and 
swinging frames are electrically welded. Steel plates 
for receiving the hardware are welded to the case- 
ment sections. No screws or rivets to work loose or 
break. 


Service 


rege greats ~ e om 


Steel 


All steel used is Crittalloy, the copper-bearing 
steel. This steel is more enduring than ordinary steel 
and even if left unpainted would outlast by two or 
three times steel without a copper content. In addi- 
tion copper-bearing steel forms a better surface for 
paint and will require less frequent painting than 
other steels. 


Paint 

Paint consists of two coats of shop paint, each 
coat baked on separately. A field coat of paint should 
be applied to the casements to dress them up after 
the wear and tear of shipping and erecting. 


Workmanship 


For over twelve years the Crittall Casement Win- 
dow Company has been engaged in the exclusive 
manufacture of steel and bronze casement windows 
built to order for the most monumental work de- 
signed by the best architects in the country. Such 
a background of experience has bred in us a sincere 
desire to turn out the best workmanship that it is 
humanly possible to obtain. This is the best guaran- 
tee of our customers’ satisfaction. 


Casements may be shipped promptly 
from stock when required. We will 
eladly undertake the erection of our 
sash when desired. In the preparation 
of plans our sales engineers will be glad 
to co-operate with the designer or build- 
er in the detailing of our windows to 
secure an economical and practical in- 
stallation.

The photograph above illustrates the beauty of simple drapes applied to steel casement 
windows. Such drapery treatment may be used whether the casements open in or out. 
When the casements open out inside screens are used. Such screens are always kept 
clean and prevent drapes from blowing out and becoming soiled... When inward open- 
ing casements are used the casements themselves keep the drapes inside and prevent soiling. 


Ease of Installation 


Reswin Casements are 
shipped complete with hard- 
ware, easily attached after 
erection, with mastic cement, 
with screws, lugs, or expan- 
sion shields as required, and 
directions for setting. Full 
sized details of how these 
windows may be set in any

Fenestra Steel Windows for Homes 


Manufactured by 
DETROIT STEEL PRODUCTS COMPANY 


Detroit, Michigan 


Fenestra Casement Windows 


Type 6426 


Type 4326 


Fenestra casements are a distinctly English type of 
steel casement window for residences and apartments. 
They have the domestic atmosphere created by small panes 
and narrow muntins, the freedom of wide outswinging 
leaves and the practical operating and weathering quali- 
ties of the best English casement designs. 


Being made from bars of solid steel, they are fireproof, 
never warp, swell, shrink, stick or rattle, and do not rot 
or decay. 

The swinging sections close against the frame with a 
wide flat two point contact which forms an absolute pro- 
tection against storms. 


Solid steel construction and strong welded corners 
make possible the use of narrow muntins and framing 
members, thus increasing the area of glass. 


As compared to wood windows, Fenestra casements 
admit more light through the same sized opening—or the 
same amount of light through a smaller opening—thus 
conserving wall space. 


Fenestra casements are screened on the inside. This 
prolongs the life of the screen, keeps the windows cleaner 
and protects curtains and draperies. 


Fenestra Casement Hardware 

The swing leaves are locked by 
a handle which moves on a 
bronze bolt and is so attached 
that constant operation cannot 
cause it to work loose. 


Casement stays are available in two types—the Peg and 
Stay, as shown, which has a 10” arm terminating in a 
bronze peg which fits into holes in the plate attached to 
the sash; and the Sliding Stay, which locks the swing leaf 
automatically in any position. ; ; 

Standard handles and stays are malleable iron, with black, 
rust-resisting finish. Bronze hardware is optional at slight 
extra cost. 

Hinges are solid steel, riveted and welded in place. They 
are of the extension type, swinging the sash away from 
the frame and providing an opening through which the 
windows may be cleaned from inside the room.

This company manufactures Welded Solid Steel 
Sash for installing in the basement walls of houses 
and in the walls of garages. They also make steel 
store front and show window sash, steel sash for 
industrial buildings, fixed and ventilated sky-lights. 
Advantages of Welded Solid Steel Basement Sash 

With the same size wall opening, steel sash brings 
from 60 to 80 per cent more daylight and sunlight 
into the basement than wood sash and frame, making 
a lighter, drier, cleaner, sweeter, more cheerful base- 
ment. 

Welded solid Steel Basement Sash cannot rot, 
warp, stick or bind. They are positively weather- 
tight and vermin-proof, and stay that way. This 
means a warmer basement in cold weather and greater 
efficiency from the heating plant. 

With a minimum thickness of 14 of an inch, steel 
sash is exceptionally strong—it cannot break. The coal 
man cannot damage steel sash like he does wood sash 
so often when putting fuel into the cellar. 

Steel sash anchors permanently into basement walls 
and can be set by the mason in brick, stucco, veneer, 
cement block, tile, masonry or poured concrete walls. 

There are no hinges, locks or catches to be attached 
as hinges and lock are attached to and form a part 
of the sash itself. 

Steel sash are made in standard glass sizes. Are 
neat and attractive in appearance, and durable. Set 
in a basement wall, they cost less than wood sash, 
frame and hardware. 


Construction 

Febrisco Welded Solid Steel Basement Sash is 
constructed of solid steel rolled sections with all 
joints electrically welded. Ventilator of sash is fas- 
tened to the frame by strong and substantial hinges 
fitted with removable pins which permit easy and 
quick removal for glazing, which can be done either 
before or after installation. Each sash is given a 
printing coat of Red Oxide Paint at the factory 
before shipment, saving time and money when paint- 
ing. 
Screens and Storm Sash Easily Attached 

Each Febrisco Steel Basement Sash is fitted with 
brass screws and wing nuts for the attaching of screens 
or storm sash. Holes are drilled in the frames of 
sereens or storm sash, the brass screws run through the 
screens or storm sash and brought to snug fit by turn- 
ing up the wing nuts.

HOFFMAN CASEMENT WINDOW 


Made By 
ANDREW HOFFMAN MFG. CO. 


28 East Jackson Blvd., Chicago 


Products: 


This company manufactures the complete 
(patented) Hardware for the installing of Case- 
ment Windows possessing many outstanding ad- 
vantages. The wood sash and trames can be built by any 
planing mill, in any size and design, to meet any require- 
ments. Full details for millwork construction, with recom- 
mendations for sizes best adapted for various purposes will 
be furnished by the Andrew Hoffman Mfg. Co. on request. 
Because the millwork for Hoffman Casements is so nearly 
“standard” the fixtures may be installed on old windows 
with but few changes. 


Showing the application of Hoffman Casement Windows in 
modern brick dwelling 


Unit System of Construction: 


Window openings may be of any desired width from a 
small, single window such as is generally used for day- 
lighting and ventilating a clothing closet to the large open- 
ing preferred for sleeping rooms, enclosed porches, etc. 
The complete window may consist of any number of sash 
from one up because Hoffman Casements are composed of 
single and double units and used in various combinations. 
A 3-sash window is made up of one single and one double 
unit. A 4-sash window consists of two double units. No 
mullions or upright posts are necessary so all sashes may 
be folded either side of opening leaving no obstruction to 
view or ventilation. The sash swings both ways—as de- 
sired—an exclusive “Hoffman” feature. 

Each unit is operated separately, never more than two 
sash being hinged together. Each sash may be as large as 
2% feet wide and 7 feet high, although such large windows 
are seldom required and smaller sizes are recommended as 
being more satisfactory. 


Double Units: 


The sashes of double units are hinged together at three 
points of their inner frames so that they open outward 
V-shaped, forming a brace for each other and holding 
firmly against wind pressure. They are not fastened to 
the jambs in any way being entirely free to be moved to 
any part of the window opening. 

The sashes are suspended at the top by rollers attached 
to each sash at the top corner farthest from the hinges. 
These rollers operate in a metal channel track screwed to 
the underside of the top of window frame. At the bottom 
of each sash, in a direct line with the top rollers, are 
guides engaging a flanged track on the window sill, so 
each double unit or pair of sash is held firmly at all four 
corners and hinged together in the center. The bottom 
guides allow a substantial amount of vertical play to allow 
for sagging or minor variations from level, insuring easy 
and smooth action at all times. 

Single Units: 

The single sash is permanently attached to one jamb and 
cannot be moved to any place in the opening as can Hoff- 
man Casements hung in pairs. It can be reversed suffi- 
ciently to permit cleaning both sides from inside the room. 
No hinges are required for single sash. With this excep- 
tion and the addition of stay arms (see diagram on next 
page) the fixtures are identical with those used on double 
units. The stay arms stabilize and guide the sash during 
operation and hold it in a position of 90 degrees or more 
when open. Stay arms are mortised into the top and bot- 
tom rails and side jambs and are practically invisible when 
the window is closed. Fixtures for single sash are made 
for right and left hand opening, so the swing of sash 
should always be clearly specified.

ANDREW HOFFMAN MFG. CO. 


Adds to Attractiveness of Home: 


Casement windows are much to be preferred 
architecturally as they fit into and harmonize 
much better with most building designs than the 
ordinary type of window. Hoffman Casements have thor- 
oughly removed the objections of leakage and incon- 
venient operation formerly associated with casement win- 
dows and are now being used by many of the leading 
architects and builders for buildings of every type because 
of their beauty and many other advantages. Upwards of 
one hundred thousand are in successful operation. 


Hoffman Casement Windows permit Unobstructed 
View (note how windows are gathered at either 
end of lower opening) and Controlled Ventilation. 


Greater Light and Ventilating Area: 


Hoffman Casements permit greater glass area in an open- 
ing of any given size than any other form of window 
because mullions may be omitted entirely or may be excep- 
tionally narrow if used. This is advantageous in most 
rooms, particularly in sun rooms, bedrooms, sleeping and 
enclosed porches, etc. 


Perfectly Controlled Ventilation: 


With Hoffman Casement Windows ventilation may be had 
in the degree wanted, without draft. When opened slightly 
the sashes remain in contact with each other and with the 
jambs thus forming a flue at the center through which the 
impure air passes out at the top while fresh air comes in at the 
bottom, without any direct draft. A breeze may be deflected 
into or away from the 
window opening by 
folding the sashes to 
one side or the other 
of the opening. In 
multiple sash open- 
ings any unit may be 
opened without dis- 
turbing the others, 
permitting ventila- 
tion just where it is 
wanted. 


Easily Cleaned: 


Hoffman Casements 
are cleaned in half 
the usual time and 
with considerably less 
work. Windows are 
opened to the most 
convenient position 
and both sides clean- 
ed quickly and safely 
from the inside. Cur- 
tains or drapes need 
not be taken down 
or disturbed as the 
window sashes move 
to any part of the 
opening. Water can- 
not drip inside be- Easy to clean both sides from the in-

HOFFMAN CASEMENT WINDOW (Cont'd) 


Will Not Stick or Bind: 


Hoffman Casements cannot warp—there is no sticking in 
rainy or damp weather—they always open and close easily. 
The sashes being hung from rollers at the top, and not 
depending upon tight fitting to make them weather or 
rattle-proof, ample allowance can be made to take care 
of maximum swelling, assuring easy and smooth movement 
under all conditions. In ordinary windows, to guard against 
leakage and rattling, no space can be left for expansion— 
when the sashes absorb moisture they swell tightly against 
their frames and are often impossible to raise or lower. 


Give Double Weather Protection: 


Hoffman Casements provide double the weather protec- 
tion of any other window. ‘The sashes enter into a pocket 
at the jamb about like the ordinary upsliding window’ 
except that the sash are fitted to the pocket without play- 
room for sliding. At the sill, in place of the usual single 
stop, there is a double weather strip past which it is impos- 
sible for water to blow even in the most driving rain. The 
sashes interlock at the points where they are hinged 
together and at the top they close tightly against a stop. 
No weather-strips of any kind are necessary. 


Cannot be Opened from Outside: 


Hoffman Casements can be securely locked both at top 
and bottom by special fasteners which draw the sash per- 
fectly tight. They cannot be opened by force from outside.

dow. Any of the ordinary types of porch shades, venetian 
blinds or ownings can be used, and outside shutters too,

HOFFMAN CASEMENT WINDOW (Cont’d) 


Hoffman Casements open like a porch—unobstructed 
view and ventilation, 


Make the Open Summer Porch 
An All-the-Year-Round Room: 


In the average home the most popular place in summer— 
the open porch—is a total waste in winter. 

Hoffman Casement Windows and a little carpenter work 
will turn the open porch into a cosy, cheerful, weather- 
tight, all-the-year-round sun room which is instantly con- 
verted into the breezy, open porch, with unobstructed vision 
by opening the sash and moving them to either end or 


arranging them in any way desired because Hoffman Case- 


ments can be operated or moved in pairs at will each double 
unit being entirely independent of any of the others. 

A Hoffman Casemented porch can be pleasantly and com- 
fortably furnished because closing the sash makes the 
former open porch as air-tight and weatherproof as any 
room in the house. Any style of curtain, blinds, or window 
decorations can be used. No interference with awnings or 
screens. 

Adding another living room to the house by installing 
Hoffman Casements on the open porch is not like tearing 
up the porch to build an ordinary sunroom. Work can be 
done easily, quickly and economically. The details at bot- 
tom of page show how existing plain sills, jambs and heads 
can be converted into frames to receive Hoffman Casements

Every Bed Room Becomes 
a Real Sleeping Porch: 


By using Hoffman Casements every bed room can have 
the ample, healthful ventilation that has popularized sleep- 
ing porches, 

Larger window openings can be arranged and ventilation 
perfectly controlled as Hoffman Casements are built up to 
any desired size through utilizing single and double units, 
each unit operating independently of the others. 

No mullions or upright posts are necessary so all sashes 
ean be folded to either side of the opening without obstruc- 
tion to view or ventilation. The sash swings both ways— 
an exclusive Hoffman feature. 

Shades, curtains and draperies are hung from the frame 
above the window just like they are when ordinary upslid- 
ing windows are used. Screens may be installed either in- 
side or outside. 

Both sides of Hoffman Casements are easily washed and 
cleaned from inside the room without danger of falling, or 
disarranging of curtains or draperies. 

We furnish full size details with hardware. Any mill can 
make the sash.

Lupton Casements Help Sell the House 

As steel casements are more generally used, 
people are coming to associate them with 
modern home comfort. The steel window house 
bears the stamp of modern construction for all 
to see. For this reason, wise builders know 


that they increase the value and hasten the sale of their prop- 
erties when they install Lupton Casements in houses and apart- 
ments. ‘They realize that while the initial cost of Lupton 
Casements is not much higher than 
that of wood sash, the resale value 
of a Lupton-equipped house is main- 
tained at a considerably higher level 
by the permanence and desirability 


of its windows.

An Economy for the Builder 


Lupton Casements are an economy for the builder as well 
as the owner. Requiring no weather strips nor wood trim, they 


save money on both material and labor.

Five Standard Units 


The traditional beauty of the casement window is en- 
hanced in the 'Truscon Copper Steel Casement by the added 
grace of its steel construction. But steel brings other ad- 
vantages. The Truscon Casement is fireproof, permanent 
and weathertight to wind, snow and rain. Casements open 
outward and thus eliminate interference with drapes. They 
afford 100% ventilation, open and close easily, do not warp 
or stick and they are easily screened. They can be in- 
stalled in any kind of weather by unskilled labor. And 
their cost is virtually the same as that of wooden windows. 
They are carefully inspected and painted with a priming 
coat before leaving the factory. Four standard sizes make 
them adaptable to any type of opening. Their enormous 
demand is a tribute to Truscon manufacturing principles.

Truscon Steel Doors are available with sash or solid 
panels, in four standard stock sizes which can be used

Doors are made of carefully 
formed steel sections, rein- 
forced at the corners. The 
joints are electrically welded. 
They are easy to open and 
close and always fit snugly 
in the special Truscon door 
Frame because they will not

economical and substantial fireproof construction applicable 
to these conditions. 


Truscon Wire Mesh in Rolls

General Advantages of Win-Dor Controlled Casements 


Both New-Standard Win-Dor Operators, No. 7 (above) 
and Flush Type Win-Dor Operators No. 24-B (below) open 
and close casements by a simple, quick and easy swing of 
the handle to right or left. A slight downward pressure on 
the handle releases the automatic catch and permits swing- 
ing; when window has reached the desired position and 
pressure on the handle is released, the catch automatically 
locks fast and rattle proof. When not in use the remov- 
able handle may be hung on the window frame behind the 
curtains, as there is a hole in each handle provided for that 
purpose. One handle to each room is generally considered

(1) Simple Mechanism. (2) Fewest parts. (8) Neat appearance. (4) Long 
life. (5) Lowest first cost when material and permanent efficiency are considered. 


Applicability 
Win-Dor operators are easily applied to new and old wood sash and to most 
metal casements on new work. Arrangements must be made for installations on 


metal sash before contracts are let.

Win-Dor Casement devices are sold through hardware dealers except for cer- 
tain makes of steel casements where they are furnished through the manufacturer.

MARK 


New Improvements 

During the past year we have installed new equipment of the highest effici- 
ency. This enables us to reduce the cost of operators one-third and it is now 
possible to install them on any structure using windows. ‘These savings are made 
yand in hand with greatly improved quality. 


Types 


No. 7.—Win-Dor New Standard—Wrought steel, parkerized (rust resisting) 
lull black finish. Takes paint readily. Shipping weight per dozen, 20 lbs. 


No 6.—Construction same as No. 7, but all solid brass. Dull brass or 
bronze finish All other hardware finishes on order. Handle No, 71. Detachable 


for Nos 7 and 6, or may be permanently attached if desired. 


No. 24B.—Material all cast bronze and brass. Fixed right and left hands. 
Works in 1% inch to 3 inch between screen and sash (with Fenestra and other 
offset hinges should be not more than 2% inch). All other hardware finishes on 
order. Shipping weight per dozen 30 Ibs. No. 241—detached handle, dull brass. 
Handle No. 241—standard detachable for No, 24B—Cold rolled steel, plated. 


Win-Dor Stays 


To operate the Win- 
Dor Stay simply lift 
up slightly on finger 
lift. This releases the 
automatic cateh and 
permits the window to 
be swung to any de- 
sired position without 
using both hands. 
There it is held firm 
by the catch, which op- 
erates automatically 
when the finger lift is 
released. 

The Win-Dor Stay is 
not a substitute for op- 
erators but is the most 
effective equipment 
wherethe use of 
screens is not impera- 
tive, or where first cost 
may dictate the sim- 
pest fixtures, with pro- 
yison for subsequent 
change to operators. 

Advantages: Positive 
locking. Requires no ’ 
adjustment either when 
installed or later. No danger of sash blowing about as when friction fails. 
Eliminates strain on hinges. Easier to operate—no resistance to pull or push 
against, and saves reaching out to fastener handle. 


No. 9!—Win-Dor Auto-Stay—steel and iron, parkerized or sherardized. 


No. 92—Construction same as No. 91, but all solid brass. Dull brass or 
bronze finish. All other finishes on order. Assembled right and left hands, but 
may be reversed when necessary. Shipping weight, per dozen, 12 lbs.

Furnished in Complete Sets 

This hardware is furnished in complete sets for series of 
sash from 2-10 in an opening. In the larger sized openings, 
where four or more sash are used, it is generally advisable 
to slide the sash to both sides of the opening. 

For instance in a ten sash installation five of the sash 
will fold back to each side of the opening. The maximum 
width of a ten sash opening is 16’6” wide.

Whitco Hardware for Casement Sash and Transoms 


Made by 


VINCENT WHITNEY COMPANY 


EASTERN OFFICES: 
636-645 Mass. Trust Bldg., 
Boston, Mass. 


Whitco-equipped casements insure perfect 
ventilation whichever way the wind blows.

ments and ‘l'ransoms.

WHITCO—“The Easy Hard- 
ware” 

Whitco is a simple, self-con- 
tained unit that takes the 
place of both butts and adjust- 
ers for swinging and controll- 
ing casement and transoms. 

It makes such effective use 
of the principles of leverage 
and friction that it not only assures a per- 
fectly operating sash at all times, but it 
holds the sash in any position, in any wind 
without rattle. 


Brass and Rust-Proofed Steel 

Whitco is made in solid brass and in 
rust-proofed steel, thus giving a selection 
to meet climatic condi- 
tions as they may exist 
in various parts of the 
country. 


SILL PLATE 


Meets Any Installation 
This hardware is easily 
and quickly apphed to 
single sash, pairs of sash 
or to multiple sash in wide 
openings without mullions.

old or new sash, to swing the

WESTERN OFFICES:

Any number of sash may be installed ina

One Size Fits All Sash 


One size fits all casements up to 
30 in. in width, or all transoms up 
to 20 in. in height. For transoms cf 
greater height Whitco may be ob- 
tained in special sizes. 


A set, the equipment for one ease- 
ment sash or transom, consists of two 
pieces, one for the top and one for 
the bottom of the casement, or one 
for each side of the transom. These 
pieces are identical except that one is 
the reverse of the other. 


SLIDING SHOE 


No Lefts or Rights 


There are no “‘lefts’’ or ‘‘rights’’. 
Whether the sash is to swing to the 
left or to the right determines which piece goes at 
the top and which piece goes at the bottom. 


No Special Sash or Frame Detail 

With the exception of the seldom-used ‘‘in-swing- 
ing’’ sash, no special sash or frame detail is required. 
The only fitting needed is a small housing at the top 
and bottom of each sash, which a carpenter can make 
with a chisel (see next page); otherwise a screw- 
driver is the only tool he 
uses in making an installa- 
tion. 


No Special Hardware Finishes 

The fact that Whiteo, when 
installed, is entirely, con- 
cealed, obviates the need of 
considering hardware fin- 
ishes. In fact, the only spe- 
cification a dealer needs is 
Whitco-equipped transom swing- the number of sash for any 
Serews are furnished 
with the hardware.

Easy to Install. 


Whiteo Hardware is simple and inexpensive 
to install. The average carpenter should be able 
to fit a casement sash or transom to an open- 
ing, equip it with Whitco and install it com- 
plete and in proper working order in less than 
thirty minutes, 

The little ‘‘movie’’ shows each step, and 
the directions packed with each set of hard- 
ware give all the information needed for any 
installation of an out-swinging casement. 


In-Swinging Casements. 

Whitco, on out-swinging casements, requires 
no special detail. For in-swinging casements, 
where a weather-tight result is desired, a special 
detail is required at the sill. The accompany- 
ing sketch is a practical suggestion as to how 
this may be taken care of.

In the case of single sash and

to slide horizontally. Screen 
frames may be wood or metal. 
When stationary screens are 
desired, use Whitco Sash Oper-

General Advantages. 


The fact that a sash, Whitco equipped, when opened, leaves 
the jamb for a distance of 5 inches, makes it easy and safe to 


clean the outside of the window within the room. 


This also affords much more perfect ventilation.

The sash plate, extending across the joint 
between the stile and the rail of the sash, re- 
inforces the sash at its weakest point and 
prevents sag. 

All screws used in installng WHITCO to 
casement or transom are set in at right angles 
to the line of strain, instead of in line with it, 
thus making a stronger and more dependable 
installation. 


The relation between the leverage and the 
friction of Whiteco Hardware is such that a 
slight foree appled to the edge of the sash 
farthest away from the jamb causes the sash 


- to open and close easily, yet, when the force 


is distributed, as when the wind blows against 
the entire surface of an open sash, the sash 
is not moved: 


Whitco Sash Operators. 


The Whitco Operator, for opening and clos- 
ing the sash without moving the screen, is 
made of solid brass, and is so fashioned that it 
swings back along the interior frame of the 
window when the sash is closed, and is prac- 
tically concealed by the screen frame when the 
sash is open. 

An aperture about the thick- 
ness of a saw cut, at the bottom 


of the screen, is all the provision 
that has to be made for the op= 


i 


it erator. A fabric strip for cov- 
{\ ering this aperture is_ pro- 
vided with each operator. (See 


illustration for details.) = 


Whitco Sash Fasteners. 


This simple locking device is 
designed to set into the jamb 
about midway up the sash so 
as to exert an evenly distrib- 
uted pull. The lock is oper- 


ated by means of a lever, mounted on the window frame, 


and working through a shaft extending into and engaging 
the lock. The sash may be locked and unlocked without mov- 


ing the screen. 


(See illustration for details.)

in the first place, particularly as the difference in cost between 
the best and the cheapest will amount to only a small sum for 
each window.

in any position, is neat in appearance, everlasting in 
wear, and (most important of all) that operates on 
screened windows without requiring the screen to 
be opened whenever it is desired to open or close the 
easement. All of these advantages are possessed by 
the Wilkins Casement Adjuster to a greater extent 
than-by other devices for the same purpose. 


How Attached 


The Wilkins Casement Adjuster can be attached to any 
window, wood or metal, new or old, and easily. The Adjuster 
is self-contained, there being no loose parts to be lost. Simply 
secure the base block firmly on the window sill with two large 
screws and the guide tube to the sash with four small screws 
and the job is done. 


Simple in Operation 

When the handle of the Adjuster is in the horizontal posi- 
tion shown in illustration the Casement is locked, whether 
open or closed, or at any intermediate angle. To release the 
locking mechanism it is merely necessary to raise handle and 
the Adjuster may then be operated to open or close casement 
by moving handle to the right or left. On releasing handle 
it falls again to the horizontal position and locks casement. 


Everlasting in Wear 


All parts of the Wilkins Casement Adjuster subject to wear 
(such as the locking mechanism) are made of case hardened 
steel. The exposed portions are fabricated of the best 
manganese bronze which is not only strong and proof against 
corrosion, but the finishes are extremely impressive in appear- 
ance, and none of the moving parts can in any way mar or 


esis Be [tal ol aE | 


For kitchen and attic casements, sleeping porch windows, 


and for modest homes not requiring as fine a Casement Ad- 
juster as the Wilkins, we make a cheaper adjuster of malle- 
able iron. This is known as the Security Casement Adjuster. 
While not the equal of the Wilkins, we can truthfully say of 
the Security that it is superior in design and construction to 
any other adjuster selling at an equally low price. 


Styles, Sizes and Finishes . 


The Wilkins Casement Adjusters are furnished in both right 
hand and left hand, and styles for wide or narrow sills in 
any desired finish and for any size of casement. Standard 
sizes are designed for sash not less than 12 inches wide nor 
more than 36 inches. The Security is made both right and 
left hand, in many finishes and in one size only, suitable for 
sash 15 to 36 inches wide. Full particulars with detail draw- 
ings and prices will be furnished promptly on request.

Knape & Vogt Modern Clothes Closet Fixtures 


Made By 
KNAPE & VOGT MFG. COMPANY 


GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN 


Product 

This company manufactures Extension Carriers for 
Clothes Closets which permit the neat hanging and storage 
of garments, making any individual garment instantly and 


conveniently available without disturbing other garments. 


Where Used 

Knape & Vogt Clothes Closet Fixtures are being 
extensively used in private residences and apartment 
houses, clubs, hotels, lodges, schools, offices, factories, stores, 
and in locker and cloak rooms of all kinds. 


Knape & Vogt Clothes Closet Fixtures. 
from 12 to 60 inches long when closed. 


travels back and forth are built of full nickeled steel. The 
carrier rod operates smoothly and noiselessly, without fric- 
tion, on roller bearings. It can be pulled out or pushed 
back into place with a mere touch of a finger. The neces- 
sary screws and brackets for installing are furnished. 


Sizes 

They are made in sizes to suit any depth of closet. Stock 
sizes, in multiples of two inches can be had from 12 to 60 
long, when in closed position. Special lengths can be made 
to order. 


Made in multiples of 2 inches 


Advantages 

Because the fixtures double closet capacity, closets can 
be built smaller—thus adding additional space to rooms 
without reducing the garment hanging space in closets. 
As the fixtures slide in and out of the closet a whole 
wardrobe can be instantly brought out into the light of 
a room, permitting easy examination or the selection of any 
individual garment without disturbing other garments. The 
method of hanging prevents crowding, wrinkling, sagging, 
tearing or soiling of garments. Builders and Realtors find 
that Knape & Vogt equipped closets add a strong sales 
argument for both new and old homes.

Operation 


In making a delivery the package is placed 
in the Receivador and the thumb bolt turned 
thus automatically engaging the interlocking 
device and preventing the outside or delivery 
door from being opened until the package is 
removed from the inside or receiving door. 


When the inside (receiving) door is closed 
and the thumb bolt turned, the lock on out- 
side (delivery) door is released permitting 
the door to be opened. The design of this 
lock makes its action unfailing and reliable.

trance door, does not interfere in any way 
with the normal operation of the door.

ments, but a single compartment can be 
furnished when desired. To meet special re- 
quirements the number of compartments may 
be increased and they can be a:ianged either

ENTRANCE DOOR HANDLES: 


Handles, rather than knobs and plates, are being used

plain and ornamental designs made in wrought as well as 
cast metal. 

Inside Trim can be supplied to match the trim being used

Bronze and Cylinder or Bit-Key Sets may be had in each 
of the designs.

a representative selection from the complete PENN Line 
which includes all of the many items required for equipping 
buildings of every type.

and Hospital Doors. 


Quality and Prices 
Standard for 50 years, and kept up-to-date retaining 
superiority over all others.

Bommer Standard Spring Butt Hinges 


Bommer Standard spring butt hinges require a hanging 
strip for fastening them to the door casing. One flange is 
mortised into the hanging strip and the other into the 
door, which gives a uniform appearance and secure fastening. 

They are made of wrought steel, bronze and brass, in 
all finishes. The bearing surfaces are of different hardness 
in order to reduce friction. The spring barrels and their 
connecting plate are integral and exceptionally strong and 
of uniform thickness. The springs are of large diameter 
and unusual length, made of the best oil tempered steel 
wire, have great resilience and power and never go lame. 
The pintle and flange are interlocked, preventing the ball 
tips from working loose.

Garage Door Hardware 


Made by Parallel Folding Sliding Door 


ALLITH-PROUTY CO. 


We make Right Angle and 
Round-a-Corner Door Hangers, 


Equipment and many other forms, 


Danville, Illinois 


Products 


This company makes a complete line of Garage 
(or Barn) Door Equipment for swinging and sliding 
doors. Among unusual devices manufactured by this 
company are hardware for vertically shding doors, 
and an electrically operated garage door control 
enabling the doors to be opened or closed from a dis- 
tance by merely pushing a button. 


Various Arrangements of Doors 


Where an opening is closed by two doors the sim- 
plest arrangement is as illustrated at the right—two 
Swinging doors which may open either outward or 
inward. 

With three, four, five and six doors some form of 
sliding, or folding-sliding, doors are required. 

The possible arrangements increase with the num- 
ber of doors, but for each opening there is one best 
arrangement of doors. We have made a careful study 
of all possible arrangements and will be glad to sug- 
gest the best arrangement for any given condition. 
We have designed hangers and tracks suitable for all 
conditions. These are illustrated and described in 
our catalog, No. 91, a copy of which we will be glad 
to mail you on request. 


Three Styles of Track 


Local conditions and cost considerations will determine the 
style of track to be used with any sliding, or folding-sliding, 
door installation. When the track is installed outside the 
building, exposed to the weather, some form of Watershed 
Track is generally required since in this form the hangers and 
the track on which they run are protected from rain, snow and 
ice. Watershed types of track are not shown here, but are 
completely described and illustrated in Catalog No, 91. For

inside installations a Trolley Track with roller-bearing wheels 
and ball-bearing swivels is the ideal installation, friction being 
reduced to the minimum, and the doors opening and closing 
noiselessly and with little effort. 

Next to the Trolley the best form of track is the Tubular (or 
Round) Track, which costs somewhat less than a Trolley Track 
installation. 

When lowest possible price is the first consideration the Flat 
Track should be used, as this is the cheapest to buy and the 
easiest to install. 


Equipments at All Prices 

Irrespective of price, all Allith-Prouty Garage Door Equip- 
ments are thoroughly reliable and are the result of the best 
engineering knowledge and manufacturing skill. The differences 
in price are largely due to the materials used—steel or Certi- 
fied Malleable—and to whether the hanger wheels are merely 
cast, or machine finished; roller-bearing, or plain bearing. We 
can give you an equipment at any price you want to pay and 
whether you buy the cheapest or the best you get good value 
for your money.

Where the distance, between edge of jamb and side wall, is 
less than 30 inches you will have to use three doors in the 
opening, installed as shown in above plan. With this ar- 
rangement you then have an easy operating set of hardware 
as well as the convenience of a passage door. 

When a two-door installation is insisted on, do not attempt 
to use curves unless there is 30 inches of space to the side 
wall, but use instead the right angle arrangement shown in

Fig. 1 Fig 2 


Fig. 1 represents a small garage which is commonly used. 
The opening is usually the width of the front wall. This cut 
shows two doors in the opening, but one door will operate 
just as satisfactorily. Two doors should be used where the car 
is nearly the length of the garage as a single door will take 
up more space in going across the corner. A _ single door 
requires two runs of track while two doors need three runs of 
track, one across the front and two shorter lengths at the sides. 


Fig. 2. represents a condition where the space from the side 
walls to the jambs is less than two feet. The same amount 
of material is required as in Fig. 1, only the two side tracks 
are placed at an angle. A 2x6 in. timber placed 4 in. from 
the jamb and attached to the side wall makes a practical track 
support.

Advantages 


Ly 


There is no better way of closing 
the entrance to a garage than with 
folding—sliding doors because this 
method combines the easy operation of 
sliding doors along with the tight clos- 
ing feature of folding doors. This 
method is much to be preferred to the 
old double swinging doors or to sliding 
doors which are not weather-tight. 
Doors mounted with Cannon Ball fix- 
tures will not sag, will open half way 
or all the way and will stay open. 
They will not blow in the wind.

Description 
Cannon Ball track is made by pressing a steel 
sheet into nearly a complete circle 2%” in 


diameter. The hangers consist of two rollers or 
wheels that are roller bearing, whose face is made 
to conform to the inside of the track. They are 
connected in tandem and the door is fastened to 
the bracket that hangs from the roller frame 
through the slot in the track. Brackets to sup- 
port the track as illustrated below provide for 
any sort of installation. 


Features 


Cannon Ball track is dirt proof because the only 
place for dirt to get in is at the lowest point of 
the circle where it tends to fall out rather than 
accumulate. The ends of the track are closed. 
It comes in convenient lengths so any run may be 
had in even feet without cutting. 


Uses 


Cannon Ball Track and Hangers are used to 
hang doors on any opening, such as in garages, 
barns, or factories, that do not weigh over 400 lbs. 


The roller bearing feature makes them easy 
running and they always remain that way.

R-W “Slidetite” Sliding-Folding Garage 
Door Equipment 


Combination hinged, folding and sliding type for open- 
ings from 8 to 30 feet wide. Doors are hinged at jamb on 
inside of building with one of each pair of doors supported 
at outer edge by No. 485 roller bearing sliding door hangers. 
Space requirement between doorway and car equals ap- 
proximately the width of one door plus 4 in. where ND. 
435 hardware is used, or the width of one door plus offset 
of hinge where No. 1035 hardware is used. 

“Slidetite’ doors fit perfectly tight, are weather-proof, 
can not sag, and will not warp. All of the openings may 
be used at one time, 


Styles 


“Slidetite” outfits are made in two styles—No. 435 and No. 
1035; the designating numbers referring to the style number 
of hinge used, the No. 435 hinge being a half surface hinge 
or butt while No. 1035 is an offset strap hinge. 

No. 435 hardware for light doors is furnished with 2 
half-surface hinge which throws 2 doors on each side of 
the opening clear of the jamb. Heavier No. 435 Hardware 
is furnished with butts which cause the doors, when stand- 
ing at right angles to the opening, to project into the open- 
ing. With the No. 1035 hinge, the doors swing clear of the

walls, giving clearance from jamb to jamb. 


Thickness of Doors 


For private garages, doors 134” thick should give satis- 
factory service. For public garage doors, subject to hard 
usage, doors 214” thick should be used. Hardware is made 
to handle doors up to 24%” thick. 


Equipment 

All necessary hardware is furnished with each “Slidetite” 
outfit, including: track, hangers, brackets, hinges, bow 
handles, top and bottom bolts and all screws and bolts 
necessary to erect. Lock for entrance door not furnished 
with sets, but should be specified separately. 

Intermediate and end brackets are adjustable. Hangers 
have metal wheels, vertical adjustment and ball-bearing 
swivel pendants. 

No. 517 or 617 top and bottom Cremone bolts are required 
to lock the doors in place. Floor guides are furnished where 
necessary and two bumper shoes are attached to lower 
corner of door to prevent chafing by guide. 


Locking 

If no separate entrance door is available (1) hang the 
doors so one door near the center of the opening will be 
hinged free to serve as passage door, or (2) specify No. 
1125 outside lock with No. 617 Cremone bolt inside. 


Special Features 

In the winter time when snow and ice is liable to pile 
up against the outside of the garage doors, it is unnecessary 
to dig your way into the garage, as Slidetite doors open 
inside. The hinges used at the jamb are provided with an 
offset which throws the doors in back of the jamb and 
give a clear opening from jamb to jamb. 
Service 

If you have any special problems in regard to hanging 
garage doors, R-W engineers will be glad to suggest to you 
the proper equipment to handle any doors. 

A special catalog has been prepared on this subject, and 
the information contained therein, is very complete and 
concise, and a copy will be gladly sent upon request.

For three doors hinged together. The 
door nearest the side of the building toward 
which the doors slide when opening is used 
as an entrance door. The doors may be 
mounted to slide to the right or to slide to 
the left. The hardware is reversible and 
can be used in any opening regardless of the 
distance from the jamb to the side wall. 


Special Features 

The entrance door swings free and is folded back 
before the doors are operated around the curved sec- 
tion of the track. In this way, but little space is re- 
quired between the doorway and the back end of the car 
when it stands in the garage. When in open position, 
the doors lie flat against the side wall of the garage. 
If a two car garage is being built set, 235-KK 6 door 
hardware should be specified. This would mean that 
three of the doors would slide to each side wall when 
in open position.

Detailed information regarding this hardware is con- 
tained in our special catalog “Distinctive Garage Door 
Equipment,” copy of which will be sent upon request. 


R-W Vanishing House Door Hardware 


The above illustration shows vanishing doors which 
operate upon R-W hangers and track. The utility and 
ornamental possibilities of having these doors vanish 
into the wall instead of swinging into the room are 
obvious. The doors interfere in no way with draperies, 
furniture, or fixtures of the home. 

The wide opening between two rooms, which can be 
completely closed when desired, gives an effect of 
spaciousness which is most pleasing. 

The use of vanishing doors is now becoming more 
general than ever before. Space is one of the most 
desired features in the bungalow, apartment or house 
and architects are taking advantage of the space saving 
features, which vanishing doors permit, and are specify- 
ing them in their plans. 


Space Saving Feature 


The plan to the left 
shows three swinging doors, 
two of which open toward 
each other. These could 
be improved by the instal- 
lation of vanishing doors, 
as illustrated below. 


The occupants of thous- 
ands of apartments, parti- 
eularly in our larger cities, 
where space is at a pre- 
mium, have found it neces- 
sary to substitute hanging — 
drapes in places like this, 
where closet doors interfere 
with access to the closet.

Folding-Sliding Garage Door Equipment 


SHARON HARDWARE MANUFACTURING CO. 
SHARON, PENN. 


The Sharon No. 9 Garage and Barn Door Equipments 
illustrated on this page are fully protected by patents 
allowed and pending, all patents covering this equipment 
being either owned, or controlled, by the Sharon Hardware 
Mfg. Co. 


Distinctive Features 


The five outstanding features of the Sharon Method o£ 
hanging garage and barn doors are: ; 
No.1. A Double Swivel Hanger which permits a pair of 

doors hinged together and to one jamb to be sup- 
ported by said hanger in such a manner that the doors 
will fold back parallel with the opening, giving full 
use of the entrance. 

No. 2. Sharon No. 9 Garage Door Hanger is so constructed 
that it eliminates the necessity of built-out track 
arrangements—the track being applied directly to 
the building. 

No. 3. The Hanger in closing the doors operates back of 
the edge of the door to which it is attached, making 


TWO DOOR EQUIPMENT it convenient to use “2 pairs of doors” hinged to- 
Sharon No. 9 Garage or Barn Door Hanger gether and supported by Sharon No. 9 Garage Door 
PATENTED Hanger in one opening, giving full width of the 


opening without the necessity of a center post. 


No. 4. In applying the track directly to the building, it 
permits the use of standard Trolley Track and 
Brackets, eliminating the necessity of carrying special 
length brackets for individual jobs or the figuring of 
the angle at which the doors will work to best 
advantage. 


No.5. The Hanger wheels are solid steel, lathe turned, 
running on an axle surrounded by case hardened 
roller bearings well greased. The swivel runs on 
¥%” ball bearings, 


There is an adjustment on the hanger which will allow 
the adjustment of the doors to take care of approximately 
1%” sag. <A special hook type bolt which governs the 
swing of the doors enables the hanger to be used either 
as a right or left hanger by moving the hook of the bolt 
from one side to the other of the arm. This bolt is also 
a connecting link between the arm which takes care of the 
thickness of the doors and the drop strap which supports 


them. 
Track 
THREE DOOR EQUIPMENT The track required is equal to the width of the 2 doors 
Sharon No. 9 Garage or Barn Door Hanger to which the hanger is attached, that is, on a 2 door 
PATENTED opening an 8’ opening would require 8 feet of track, and 


on a 3 door opening where the hanger is attached to the 
pair of doors and a single entrance door to the opposite 
jamb the length of track required is equal to the width 
of that pair of doors, that is, a 9’ opening with 3 doors 
would require 6 feet of track. Standard Trolley Track is 
used with this equipment. 


Brackets 


The bracket is exactly the same as used to support any 
trolley track on a Straight runway. 


Special Points 


No.1. Folds doors right or left—the same Hanger does 
either. 

No. 2. No built-out arrangement or special bracket—stand- 
ard Trolley Track and Brackets are used. 

No. No angles to figure for individual jobs. 

No. Folds doors back parallel with the opening—do not 

eontfuse this with a right angle.

Automatic Electric Doors for the Private Residence Garage 


Manufactured by 


ELECTRIC DOOR CORPORATION 
ITHACA, N. Y. 


Product 


Electric Mechanism for Opening and Closing Garage 
Doors without getting out of the car. 


Special Utility to Builders 


Builders find that new homes equipped 
with Electric Doors quickly attract pros- 
pective buyers. They drive up, the 
farage doors swing open, and they are 
immediately impressed with the fact that 
here is a really modern home. They are 
delighted to find this electric servant will 
work for them for life at wages of 2 cents 
per month. 

As day after day the Electric Door per- 
forms its service it soon becomes one of 
the most appreciated features in a modern 
residence. Men like the promptness and 
efficiency of its service. Women save 
their clothes in bad weather, never have 
to struggle with the doors, and particu- 
larly enjoy it when they have a guest. 
The garage looks better when its doors 
are not left gaping open. It permits 
adequate heating in winter. The Electric 
Door marks a modern home, 


What It Is, and Does 


The Electric Door opens or closes by the pressure of 
a car wheel on a ground plate switch in the driveway, or 
by a hand. push button, if desired, mounted on a post at 
the side of the drive. A push button switch is also located 
in the garage to open or close the doors when the car is 
inside. If there is no side door for entrance and exit this 
Switch is located outside on the wall of the garage. The 
Electric Door is particularly designed for the residence 
garage, but can be applied to the public garage or to 
industrial doors. 

It is extremely simple, rugged, and foolproof, and is 
powerful enough to hold swinging doors in any wind or 
sweep back any ordinary snowfall. It operates in any 
weather, permits adequate heating of the garage, and can 
be operated from inside a closed car without opening the 
window. It never requires any lubrication, in fact it must 
not be oiled. The ground plate is not affected by rain, 
mud, ice, or snow; is self-draining and self-cleaning. The 
switch mechanism is rustproof and waterproof. 


Standard Type 


The standard installation is for outwardly swinging 
doors, as this type, being the simplest mechanically, has 
been found to be the most reliable. The ordinary disad- 
vantages of the swinging door are overcome by the electric 
mechanism which holds them positively, and this type of 
door has no track wheels to bind and gives more room in 
the garage. It can also be used on doors swinging inward 
by being placed outside on projecting timbers under a small 
roof. An are of 105° to 110° should be allowed for the 
Swing of the doors as it is best to have them go beyond 
the perpendicular when fully opened. 


Locking 


No locks, bolts, or similar hardware of any kind should 
be placed on the doors. If a positive lock is desired an 
ordinary push button switch may be placed conveniently 
in any part of the house, which will cut off the garage 
circuit and leave the mechanism dead. If it is especially 
desired to lock the doors while the owner is out with 
the car, the hand push button on a post or wall should 
be installed instead of the ground plate type, and a key 
lock switch used. The ground plate type with inside lock- 
ing is generally preferred. 


Installation 

Installation is simple and the average should not cost 
more than $15.00 to $25.00. Where a concrete drive is to be 
laid a hole should be left for the ground 
plate, the dimensions of which are 18%x16 
in. The long dimension should be across 
the driveway. It is generally more con- 
venient to place the ground plate on the 
left-hand side of the driveway looking 
toward the garage so that the driver can 
see it as he drives in. It should be at 
least 20 ft., preferably 30 ft., from the 
doors. If the length of the drive-way 
will not permit this, the hand push button 
switches should be located so that the 
driver can see the doors while operating 
them. 

The weight of the doors does not matter 
as the mechanism will operate anything 
that can be swung by hand, but they 
should be properly hung so that they 
will swing and close easily. Doors should 
be cut off 1 in. clear at bottom to allow 
for our special copper weatherstrip. This 
takes care of any sagging of the doors 
and jamming because of ice, frozen mud, 
or stones. Door jamb strips back of the 
doors should be omitted as they serve no purpose and tend 
to chew the doors when the doors warp. On new construc- 
tion it is desirable to have a short concrete ramp from sill 
to driveway about 18 in. to 2 ft. in length with a slope of 
201n. ecOmelad t. E . 

The mechanism itself, including a % hp. motor, is all 
assembled before being shipped and should be placed and 
supported as shown in diagram, between two 2x4’s 20 in. 
apart. Weight of mechanism inside garage is about 70 Ibs. 

Hinges used as sockets for the arms permit attaching 
the arms at various levels and should be bolted through 
the doors, not just put on with screws. The mechanism 
can be disconnected from the doors by merely lifting the 
arms from the sockets. 

_ No special power circuit required; operates from any 
lighting circuit, 110 volts a-c. or d-c., any cycle. Other 
voltage $10.00 extra. 

Full directions for installing sent with each shipment.

Electric Door operating mechanism complete, including 
switches, fuse box, weatherstrips, all hardware, with 40 ft. 
of lead armored cable and ground plate control, $125.00; 
same, but with hand button in place of ground plate, $120.00;

QUICKLOCK—The Simple, Safe, Satisfactory Garage Lock 


Made By 
CLOSES LURIE PRODUCTS OPENS 
AUTOMATICALLY 3218 Montrose Ave., Chicago WITH A KEY 


Product 


A new type of Garage Lock, particularly 
adapted for swinging doors, that can be in- 
stalled in a few minutes, and that opens with 
a key from the outside, and locks automatic- 
ally by simply closing doors from outside. 


Construction 


Quicklock is sturdily built of the best ma- 
terials and is mechanically perfect. There 
are only a few, simple parts and nothing 
complicated to get out of order. It always 
works, 


Operation 


When key is inserted in lock from outside 
and given a right turn there is an upward 
movement of the entire assembly of tie rods 
and connecting plate which releases the pawls 
or gripper teeth at top and bottom and the 
doors are unlocked. 

When doors are closed tightly the zripper 
teeth, coming in contact with U-bracket at 
top and floor plate at bottom, raise just 
enough to ride over them and fall by gravity 
into locked position. 


Advantages 


Locks doors automatically top and bottom 
by simply pushing doors shut from outside. 

Unlocks doors instantly from outside by 
a simple turn of the key. Maintains its lock- 
ing position by gravity—cannot be opened 
from outside except with proper key. 

Eliminates chain or rod pull bolts at top 
$ ( and foot push bolts at bottom of doors. 
Baty the y : : Draws doors tightly together when locked 

PATD APR. 211925 : - and makes them close snugly. 

The flexible floor plate permits of closing 
and locking doors even when jammed with 
snow. ice or mud. 

Eliminates the small side entrance door in 
garages, thus allowing more inside wall or 
window space, or storage space. and saving 
on cost of construction. 

Permits taking car out of garage or lock- 
ing it up in one-third the usual time when in 
a hurry, because one simple turn of Key 
unlocks door and pushing them closed auto- 
matically locks them. 

Discourages the practice of leaving ga- 
rage doors open, or closing them without 
locking securely, when in a hurry, and per- 
haps suffering a loss of tools. tires, or other 
accessories kept in the garare 

Easily and quickly installed hv anyone— 
does not require locksmith or mechanic to 
put together, 


The Useless Side Door 


Most garage are built with a small en- 
trance door in the side wall or in front along- 
side the car entrance doors, and sometimes 
placed in the large door itself, the principal 
use of this door being to afford an entrance 
so that the big door can be opened or closed 
from the inside. 

This is usually accomplished through the 
use of bolts at the top and bottom of doors, 
or a crossbar or rod across the inside of the 
big doors. 

Where QUICKLOCK is used the small door 
is no longer necessary and is becoming obso- 
lete because the only real reason for its 
existence has gone, 


Where to Buy 


Quicklock is patented and is on sale in 
hardware stores. 


Price 


Complete, with full instructions telling how 
to install, $6.75.

STAR LITTER and FEED CARRIERS 


ALBANY, N. Y. 
Industrial Bldg. 


SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF, 
383 Brannan St, 


No. 3833 Star Litter Carrier 


No. 333 Star Litter Carrier runs on a 
rigid rail hung overhead in the barn. 
Outside, the track is hung from a 
Swinging boom often as long as 40 
feet. That gives a wide dumping 
radius. There is a raising and lower- 
ing device on the carrier so the tub 
can be lowered for filling. It is dumped 
by pulling a trip chain. Roller bear- 
ings throughout. 

No. 405 Star Litter Carrier runs on a 
rod or steel cable track both inside 
and outside the barn. It dumps auto- 
matically outside wherever the trip 
_block is set on the track, and a spring 
bumper chain automatically returns 
the empty carrier to the barn. This 
earrier has no hoisting attachment. 
Equipped with roller bearings. 

No. 592 Star Litter Carrier is a com- 
bination of the first two in that it runs 
on a rod track outside giving it the 
automatic dump and return feature, 
and on azrigid track inside the barn. 
With this arrangement the. carrier 
always remains stationary while being 
loaded. It’ has a hoisting device so 
that the tub can be lowered while 
being filled. Equipped with roller 
bearings.

Products 


We manufacture a full line of litter and feed carriers along with all the 
attachments to make a complete job. Three of the most popular models are 
shown and described. Each has its place depending on the particular require- 
ments of each purchaser. For Garage Hardware see pages 264-65. 


Uses 

As the name indicates, STAR Litter Carriers are used to remove the daily 
accumulation of litter in the barn. They run on an overhead track so that 
the same load is propelled with much less effort than by any other means such 
as a wheelbarrow or truck. The track runs between the rows of stalls; the 
litter is loaded into the tub from either side and the carrier is pushed out to 
the dump pile. Some of the carriers dump and return to the barn automatically. 
The tubs can be detached and tubs to carry feed may be substituted; or 
carriers designed for feed only may be had. 


Advantages 

STAR Litter Carriers make easy the most tedious and unpleasant job around 
the barn. They help to keep the barn clean at much less cost for labor. They 
are inexpensive, easy to operate for they are equipped with roller bearings, 
and last a lifetime. 
Engineering Service :

STAR STEEL STALL 


Unit System Is An Exclusive Feature 

STAR Stalls are built individually. Each 
stall is a separate unit and connects with 
the next on either side. You can install as 
many as you heed and you can always add 
more. This STAR feature saves much in 
installation expense. The Stalls go into the 
barn just as they leave the factory. 


Star Stall Arch 

Made of one continuous piece of steel pipe. 
Only the highest grade, full weight, butt 
welted steam pipe is used. Each piece tested. 


Star One-Hand Lock 

Four big advantages. The STAR Stanchion 
is easily opened with one hand. The fork 
or crotch device on the lock straddles the 
side of the stall arch holding the stanchion 
in place. The guide of the One-Hand Lock 
removes all strain on the hinge. The double 
latch makes it absolutely cowproof. 


Star Stanchion Adjustments 
You can adjust the width of a STAR 
Stanchion instantly from 5 to 9 inches.

Stanchion can be adjusted to fit the neck 
of a bull or small calf. 


Star Wood Lining 

The STAR Stanchion has a wood lining 
which is imbedded—an exclusive feature. 
It is not merely hung on the stanchion but 
is forced into the U-bar and can not possibly 
be loosened by the cattle. 


Star Automatic Sure Stop 

This device keeps the cow from putting 
her head in space at side of stanchion. It 
is always in place but never in the way. 
Star Cement Anchors 

Used to secure stall partitions which other- 
wise would have to be permanently imbedded 
in concrete.

SAMSON SPOT SASH CORD 


Made by 


SAMSON CORDAGE WORKS 
88 Broad St., Boston, Mass. 


Products: 


The Samson Cordage Works manufactures Braided 
Cord in all sizes and colors, for all purposes, in- 
eluding Samson Spot Sash Cord and other Sash 
Cords, Clothes Line, Awning Line, Ventilator 
Cord, Curtain and Shade Cord, Mason’s Line, 
Dumbwaiter Rope, Etc., also Cotton Twines. 


Advantages: 

Samson Spot Cord is made of extra quality cot- 
ton yarn, smoothly and firmly braided, carefully 
inspected, and guaranteed free from imperfections 
of braid or finish. 

It will wear much longer than ordinary sash cord, made 
of inferior yarn, roughly braided, and poorly finished, which 
wears out by abrasion on the pulley. 


The cost of replacing a single broken window cord is 
often more than the difference in first cost between Samson 


Spot Sash Cord and the cheapest for an entire house. 


Samsoutlrade Mack 


Identifying Marks: 


In addition to the labels on each hank bearing 
the trademark of Samson and the Lion, Spot Cord 
is marked with colored spots, which are a means 
of identification after the label is removed, and 
prevent substitution of inferior cord. ‘The spots 
may be of any color and are used only with this 
quality of cord. 


Avoid Adulterated Cord: 


Much of the cheap cord offered for sale contains 
a large loaded center which is put in to increase 
the weight of the cord and the price per foot. 


This center stiffens the cord and makes it wear out 
quickly in running over the pulleys. 

The danger of getting such cord can be avoided by speci- 
fying Samson Spot Cord which can be easily distinguished 
by the trademark, 


Specifications: 


Specifications should read: “Windows to be hung with 
Samson Spot Cord; size of cord and size of pulleys to agree 
Ae be gsser on dex list.” (See illustrations at bottom of 
page). 


SAMSON SPOT CORD 


The number indicates the diameter in 32ds of an inch. 


Size No. 6 Diam. 3/16 in. 


About 18 lbs. per doz.; about 66 ft. per Ib.

The Colonial Head Throat and Damper is built of the best 
gray iron castings securely bolted together and reinforced 


with a steel angle bar.

as to allow for the movement of expansion without dis-

The steel reinforcing angle bar 
sets half way up the sloping 
front of the Damper. The ledge 
which it forms furnishes a foot- 
ing on which to build the com- 
mon brick backing and on which 
to anchor the facing. 


A. mason experienced in fire- 
place building will spend much 
more time in forming the Throat 
than the cost of the Colonial 
Head. With it an experienced 
workman cannot build wrong at 
the vital point. The Colonial 
Head sets above the bottom of 
the span over opening. This saves 
time because the fire brick need 
not come to exact levels.

(Odorless and Clean) 


Gives real fire effect 
and heats at the same 
time. The New “Glo- 
Bar” heating element is 


the perfected economical 
way to use electric cur- 


rent for heat. The scien- 
tifically designed copper 
reflector throws all the 
heat rays straight into 
the room. The old Png- 
lish grate of polished 
steel and iron with solid 
brass ornaments and 
deep chested grate space 
for the colored glass 
coals is unusually at- 
tractive. 


Looks Like Live Coals 
and Really Heats: 


At the first snap of the switch, 
the grate is flooded with the life- 
like flicker of glowing coals. At the 
second snap of the switch, as if by 
magic, the heat flows out from the 
“Glo-Bar’ heat unit concealed under 
the hood of this beautiful old Eng- 
lish Grate. 


No Flues Necessary: 


While the genuine fireplace with 
its flue and enchanting play of flame 
holds full sway, there are, neverthe- 
less, many homes new and old, 
where no flues are allowed for in 
the plans. The “Glo-Hot” Electric 
Grate meets this need. It gives the 
fascinating flicker as of real fire in 
glowing coals and HEATS as well, 
without requiring any flue. It comes 
closer to the effect of a real fire- 
place than ever before attained. 

The cost of operation is low com- 
pared with any type of auxiliary 
heating where a flue is used for the 
escape of smoke or gases and con- 
sequently waste of heat that goes 
up the chimney.

Made By 
THE H. W. COVERT COMPANY 


137 East 46th Street, New York

Covert Specialities Assembled in Fireplace 


How to Build an Efficient Fireplace: 


There are three vital parts in fireplace construction—the 
Throat, Smoke Chamber and Flue. If these are properly 
constructed, the fireplace will function satisfactorily in 
every way, barring the influence that nearby high buildings 
or high walls may have upon it. 


Throat: 


The construction of this most important part of a fire- 
place is simplified through the use of a Covert Damper. 


In addition to acting as a support for the arch brick, 
Covert Dampers provide a properly designed, smooth and 
substantial Throat that will lead all smoke and gases up 
the flue. It is provided with a valve to control draft. 
Covert construction secures the ledge or windshelf at the 
back of the throat which is important in checking down 
drafts. 


Smoke Chamber: 


It is important that the side walls of the Smoke Chamber, 
which is above the throat, should be smooth and should 
aarrow from bottom to top where the flue proper begins, 
at the proper angle to afford a smooth chamber or com- 
partment through which all smoke and hot gases will travel 
into the flue without being retarded. 


This construction is best accomplished by using the Covert 
Smoke Chamber which is a steel form affording perfectly 
smooth side walls sloped at the proper angle, and with a 
collar at the top upon which the tile flue is started. 


The use of this form saves considerable in mason’s time 
in forming properly sloped walls in brick work, besides 
adding greatly to the efficiency of the fireplace. 


Flue: 


The flue should be properly proportioned to the size of 
the fireplace opening. <A safe rule to follow in fireplace 
construction is to make the cross sectional area of the 
inside of the flue lining one-tenth to one-twelfth the area 
of the fireplace opening. It is always better to have the 
flue too large rather than too small. 


Size of Opening: 


A height of 30 inches is sufficient for fireplaces up to 
48 inches wide with a proportionate increase in height for 
wider fireplaces. The depth should be 18 or 20 inches for 
fireplaces up to 48 inches wide and never more than’ 24 
inches deep for wider fireplaces. The back of the fireplace 
should be narrower than the front; the side walls sloping 
towards the back wall at a ratio of about 5 inches to each 
foot of depth. 


Covert Improved Damper: 


This damper is very popular with contractors and builders 
because of its simplicity and the excellence of its design 
and construction. The valve plate is made of unbreakable 
steel, is easily removable, and is controlled by a simple 
ratchet placed just under the center of the arch. The 
damper is made in five convenient sizes up to 5 feet. 


Covert “Face or Side Control’? Damper: 


Side Operation 


Front Operation 


This damper is designed to operate from either the front 
or side of the fireplace by a single turn of a polished brass 
knob. The mechanism is very simple, having no worm or 
gear. All parts are easy to get at. It is made in all sizes 
up to four feet. 


Covert Old Style Dampers: 


These are made in four different depths up to seven feet 
long for very large fireplaces. All shown in our complete 
catalog. 


Covert Ash Dump: 


For installation in’ the hearth to permit ashes to be 
dropped through pit into cellar. 


Covert Cleanout Door: 


For installing in cellar wall to permit of easy removal 
of ashes from pit.

Made by 


MESKER BROS. IRON CO., 
ST, LOUIS, MO. 


Products 


Steel sash and casements—fully described and priced in 
our catalog “Steel Windows’’—copy on request. 


Mesker Dalite Coal Window 


This is one of our most popular specialties—a combina- 
tion baement window and coal chute. Why close the out- 
side opening to your coal bin with solid iron doors and de- 
prive this part of the basement of light and air? 


The Mesker Dalite Coal Window, when used with Mesker 
Solid Section Steel Basement Windows, gave 100 per cent 
light and ventilation all round the basement, and the coal 
chute windows match perfectly with the other windows, giv- 
ing a uniform appearance to the outside of basement wall. 


Outstanding Advantages 


The sash of Mesker Dalite Coal Window is not hinged, but 
is pivoted to frame and is instantly removable without tools 
of any kind. The entire glass portion of window is removed 
when coal is being delivered, thus insuring glass against 
breakage. This removable feature also makes window ex- 
ceptionally easy to clean. 


Window is provided with heavy corrugated steel lintel, 
which assists in anchoring sash securely in position and 
gives adequate support to masonry above it. 


Practically the entire window opening is available for 
glass, admitting from 40 to 60 per cent more light than 
wooden windows to the darkest spot in the basement—the 
coal bin. 


See illustration above for unique structural details that 
make this Coal Window a feature of home eonstruction the 
people you build for will appreciate. 


Very Reasonably Priced 


In spite of its substantial construction, fine appearance 
and many superior features, the Mesker Dalite Coal Window 
is very reasonably priced. You can 
figure on using it in any type of house, 
no matter how low in price. Send for 
price list on various types and sizes.

NOTE THESE FEATURES 


1—Admits 100 per cent daylight to the darkest spot in the basement or 40 to 
60 per cent greater light than any other glass panel door chute on the mar- 
ket and by far less expensive. 


2—Made of extra heavy, open hearth plate steel to withstand any severe shocks. 


8—Door or ‘ventilator can be removed or again placed in position instantly. No 
tools necessary. No attachments, no glass breakage, gives identical service for 
light and ventilation as any other window in the basement. 


4—It is not an unsightly hinge but a Patented Pivot. Cannot rust tight or wear 
out by continued usage or break from rust, decay, or in cold and frosty 
weather. No attachments of any kind, no plates, bolts, nuts, pins or other 
loose parts. 


5—Heavy, open hearth, plate steel used throughout, bent at right angles. No 
brittle castings to break. All parts securely held together by rivets, not by 
spot welds, which are not only cheaper but unreliable where parts are sub- 
“jected to severe shocks and _ vibration. 


6—Outer frame of window or chute and sash or door, of solid rolled open hearth 
steel throughout, with one continuous piece construction giving maximum in 
rigidity and durability. 


7—Has its own lintel, made of cold rolled steel and the 
heavy pressed corrugated ribs at proper intervals give 
maximum rigidity and ample support to the masonry above 
it. Extend full four inehes on each side. : 


8—Automatic lock, positive closing, attractive; durable; af- 
fording protection from prowlers and rodents. 


Types 90H, 120H and 170H

Quality and Price 


Gabriel Products are guaranteed by the manufacturer to be 
100% satisfactory. You may or may not be interested in the 
material from which these products are made. Naturally, in 
order to protect an unconditional guarantee, nothing but the 
highest quality of material is used. They are manufactured 
on a production basis and are accordingly priced far below the 
usual quality product. 


Construction and Material 


Standard and Special Rolled Steel Sections are used in the 
manufacture of these products. Pressed metals and castings 
have been entirely eliminated. All joints are electrically are 
welded. Every product is rigidly inspected, and painted with 
a dip coat of lead and oil paint. The use of Creosote paint 
has been discontinued by us. Gabriel Quality can be known 
only by comparison. 


Gabriel Features 


Each product has been developed to perform its function 
more perfectly, more easily and more positively than any 
similar product. The Coal Chute door is automatically opened 
by release of the catch, and is positively locked when closed 
from the outside. All types are equipped with chain and roller. 
The Ash Pit Door is practically unbreakable. The Dome 
Damper leaf is opened wide by a quarter turn of the handle. 
Its position (either open, partly open, or closed) is always 
indicated by the handle—a great convenience of the fireplace. 
The Scaffold Bracket is capable of supporting more than a ton.

Gabriel Steel Joists 


Gabriel Rolled Steel Joists have been 
particularly designed to. increase fire- 
safety in light-occupancy buildings em-

and inconveniences of concrete construc- 
tion can now be eliminated while practi- 


TrPE D 


ayreieicymuelrical!Abeut Centerline cal fire-proof construction is secured. 


Gabriel Joists are constructed from standard rolled steel sections rigidly connected at 
the joints by electric arc welding. They are really steel trusses in miniature. No diagonal 
bridging or bracing is necessary and as their weight is approximately only half that of 
wooden joists of equal strength they can be quickly and economically placed. Floor con- 
struction is more rapid with Gabriel Rolled Steel Joists.

sUasersround MORE CREDIT TO YOU IF IT’S RIGHT AT FIRST 


After all, you are responsible for the kind of finished job the 
home-owner gets. And it’s to your lasting credit if everything 
is right at first. 


— ie But—if the coal window becomes a source of irritation, 
Miik and Package Receiver E : - nits 4 
expense and depreciation for him, it’s a knock against you! 


Ordinary sash and “cheap” coal windows can’t long stand 
the gaff. The Majestic Coal Window says “good value” to every- 
one who sees it. And the little extra it may cost at first, is 
insignificant compared with the grief and expense it saves later. 


It protects the house against damage, and is guaranteed break- 
proof—made of Certified Malleable Iron and Keystone Copper 
Steel. And electric-galvanized pressed steel doors defy rust. 


It pays to install Majestic Coal Windows in homes you build. 


Majestic Coal Windows come in a variety of styles and sizes 
with or without hopper and with glass or pressed steel door. See 
opposite page for sizes and prices of Majestic Coal Windows and 
Building Specialties. For further information write us.

ing, etc. 


The “BEST” insert is very simple 
and compact in design; strong and 
rigid in construction ; quick and se- 
cure in action. The bolt is held in a 
vertical position, with the threads 
down and with a sort of hook motion 
the head of the bolt is seated in a 
wrench shaped socket, instantly. 


Water tight housing at top, giving 
absolute protection against the 
weather. Door of 18 gauge stamped 
steel, embossed to give it greater 
rigidity. 

The best pratice calls for the nut of 
a bolt to be outside, where it can be 
seen. With this insert, there is no 
chance of a nut becoming rusted in, 
or the thread being ‘jimmed,”’ so that 
the bolt cannot be taken out of the 
insert. 


Hinges concealed and protected 
under housing. Door locks auto- 
matically in both the open and 
closed positions; and when closed 
shuts tight. It keeps out drafts, 
rain and vermin. 


Chute is finished with one coat of 
grey iron filler and comes carefully 
packed in fibre carton, protecting it 
until you are ready to install it. 
Can be shipped by parcel post— 
shipping weight 41 lbs. 


The insert is designed to take the 
full strength of the bolt. If desired, 
an eye bolt with standard head on the

YPS Copper Steel Coal Door 

General all-around sturdiness, combined with neat 
appearance are the particular advantages found in the 
YPS Coal Door. The frame is made of one solid piece 
of deep drawn, copper steel tank plate. This same 
unbreakable material is used throughout the door’s 
construction. 

Unbreakable offset hinges automatically hold the 
door, when open, agaist the foundation giving perfect 
protection to the wall when the coal is being put in. 
The easy, tight-closing locks are both burglar-proof and 
break-proof. If desired, they may be equipped with a 
chain in order to re- 
lease catch without 
climbing over the coal 
pile. Each door 1s 
fitted with special slots 
in the frames to which 
a coal hopper may be 
attached at any time, 
even after the door is 
installed.

against lateral deflection. Goes up like 
wooden bridging with 4-penny nails. 

It comes ready to install and therefore 
gives faster, more economical erection. 
The real cost in preparing wooden bridg- 
ing on the job is the carpenter time 
necessary for cutting and fitting. 

The nail holes in YPS Steel 
Bridging are extruded, leaving 
small prongs on the side next to 
the joist. The carpenter simply 
taps the bridging into place, 
where it sticks until he drives the 
YPS Steel Bridging nails.

YPS Joist-Pin Anchors 

Wood joists supported by brick 
walls should have a secure anchorage 
in the masonry. This will prevent 
collapse of walls during construction 
as well as after completion. 

YPS Joist-Pin Anchors embedded 
in the masonry walls anchor the joists 
in the wall. They are made from 
steel strips 3,”"x14”, 1446” long. One 
end is punched with two 44” holes 

for fastening to joists with spikes or lag screws. Inserted 
and firmly pinched in the other end, which is widened to 
1%", is a steel pin 7%” in diameter and 5” long. This pin 
is excellent for use with hollow tile, brick or stone home 
construction.

TRADE MARK 
Products 


This company is the world’s largest producer of window 
glass. Its products include Flat Glass for glazing purposes, 
Window Glass, Crystal Sheet Glass, Ground Glass, Chipped 
Glass, as well as Picture and Photo Glass. 


Process and Production 


All of the glass manufactured by this company is machine 
made, thus insuring greater uniformity of thickness than 
can be obtained by the hand-blown process. The annual 
production of. the American Window Glass Company is 
300 million square feet—nearly a million feet a day. 


Chemical and Physical Properties 


Chemical analysis demonstrates that American Window 
Glass Company’s product is less susceptible to discolora- 
tion, fade or stain than any other window glass made, 
whether produced in this country or in Europe. 

Tests of the physical properties prove that it has greater 
tensile strength than plate glass, rolled glass, or any other 
window glass—and greater resistance to fracture. 


Flatness 


We have perfected a new process of flattening which en- 
ables us to produce window glass that is absolutely flat. 
This means that there is less distortion when looking 
through a window glazed with our glass. Our new-process- 
flattened glass may be glazed with either side out. 


Annealing 


The glass of this company is subjected to two annealing 
processes, instead of one; an important consideration when 
one remembers that the strength of window glass depends 
largely on the thoroughness with which it is annealed. Im- 
perfectly annealed glass is very brittle and breaks easily. 


“The BEST Glass” 


Grades and Qualities 


“AA” indicates the best quality of window glass. ‘A” 
indicates the next best grade and “B” the next quality. 
Grade “B” is suitable for basement and attic windows, but 
only grades “A” or “AA” should be used for glazing the 
windows of the principal rooms of a dwelling. 


Because the cost of window glass is 
trifling compared to the cost of other 
material is no reason to disregard the 
prominent part it plays in beautifying 
a house. This is especially true when 
you consider that you can buy “The 
BEST Glass’’—clear and flat, exception- 
ally strong—for the same low price as 
the ordinary kind. 


Thickness and Weight 


Single Strength window glass ranges from 10 to 12 lights 
to the inch and weighs 18144 ounces per square foot. Double | 
Strength glass ranges from 8 to 9 lights to the inch and 
weighs 24144 ounces per square foot. Glass thicker than 
Single Strength or Double Strength is known as “Heavy 
Sheet Glass” and is designated by weight in ounces per 
square foot. 

26-0z. Glass Stacks 714 to 8 lights to the inch. 

29-0z. Glass Stacks 6% to 7 lights to the inch. 

34-0z. Glass Stacks 6 to 6% lights to the inch. 


39-oz. Glass Stacks 5 to 5% lights to the inch. 
(A sheet of 39-0z. glass is about 3/16 of an inch thick.) 


Crystal Sheet Glass 


Made in the heavier weights only—26-oz. to 39 oz. This 
is the finest quality of window glass made—absolutely flat, 
of uniform thickness, and with a brilliant surface. Used 
for glazing windows in the better class of homes, also for 
glazing French doors, and for table or bureau tops and glass 
shelving. An acceptable substitute in many cases for the 
higher priced polished plate glass. 


Identification Label 


All our boxes are identified by the oval trade-mark shown 
above, and each contains a “quality” paper slip showing the 
grade and thickness. 

Complete Window Glass Specifications or any other in- 


formation you may desire will be gladly furnished on 
request.

distributors throughout the United States.

(For Sereens see page 293.) 


We will contract to furnish and install Higgin All-Metal Weatherstrips in new 


We bring to our task of serving you many years of manufacturing experi- 
ence in various lines. The HIGGIN ALL METAL WEATHER STRIP has been 
designed to complete and perfect the task of shutting out unbidden air currents 
We believe that nothing better exists in its line. 

But the installation of the strips is just as important as the construction of 
the strips themselves. It. is, therefore, well to remember that in addition to our sales 
organization located in principal cities of the country, we also have thoroughly com- 


petent skilled fitters operating from the same centers to look after the minutest de- 


The patent INSERT strip 
makes MHiggin Weatherstrips 
extra draft-tight. 


Double Hung Windows: 


The Higgin Two-Member Track and Insert Equipment for 
double hung windows consists of a rib track, fitted to the 
window frame. The rib or raised portion is 9s” high and ex- 
tends into a groove cut into the edge of sash at jambs, head 
and sill, This strip called the Track is usually made of zine. 


Insert: 

The other strip called the Insert fits into the groove in the 
sash and is so formed that the spring sides or flanges contact 
lightly with the raised tongue or rib of the track and effectu- 
ally seal the aperture. This strip is usually made of spring 
bronze of very thin gauge metal. The Insert resting on the 
slightly raised portion at base of rib on track insures easy 
sliding. 


Not Affected by Sash Shrinkage: 


The Higgin Weather Strip is all metal. There is nothing 
about it to wear out or get out of order. The method of 
construction is such that the two parts do not cut or damage 
each other. The sides only of the Insert come in contact 
with the tongue of the Track. The efficiency of the equip- 
ment is not affected by shrinkage of the sash. If the sash 
draws away from the frame the sides of the Insert contact 
with the tongue of the Track and effectually close the space. 


Note: The Higgin Track for single member strip may be 
used without the Insert and is as effective as any other single 
member strip. This single member strip can be furnished at 
less cost but it is not so effective as when the two-member track 
and insert equipment is used. 


Installation: 


Lower Sash—The rib track extends to top edge of meeting 
rail projecting slightly into the parting strip and also lapping 
under inside stop. Upper Sash—The rib track extends about 
one inch below meeting rail, projecting slightly into the out- 
side stop bead. Slot is cut into track to clear pulleys. Head 
and Sill—Track extends full width of opening. Insert con- 
cealed in sash groove, at sides, bottom and head, full length. 


tail of installation. When your contract is placed with the Higgin organization you 
may rest assured of its having the most painstaking consideration. 


The meeting rail is equipped with a flat zine or copper strip 
attached to top rail of lower sash which interlocks with a 
hook strip attached to the bottom rail of the upper sash. 


Casement Windows: 


The top and lock sides are equipped with a flat zine or 
copper strip attached to sash which interlocks with a hook 
strip of same metal, secured into the rabbet. The hinged 
side, a rib track is appled, the raised tongue extending into 
a groove in the sash. The bottom of out-opening sash are 
usually equipped the same as for top and lock sides. In- 
opening sash are equipped with an interlocking trough of 
either brass or zine. This equipment has proven very efficient 
in stopping air and water leakage. 


Doors: 


In the rabbet at sides and head are attached a compression 
spring bronze strip which contacts with door as it closes. For 
the bottom an extruded brass threshold with an interlocking 
brass hook and spring bronze contact strip makes a thoroughly 
air and water-tight equipment and provides a handsome and 
permanent threshold.

touch with our nearest sales agency.

Products: 


This company specializes in the manufacture of 
Insect Screens—both wood and metal frame. We do not 
make stock screens but give you a “made-to-measure” 
screen of the highest quality, yet very reasonable in 
price. 


Metal Screens: 


Our Metal Screens are light and graceful in appear- 
ance and are recommended because with this form of 
construction it is possible to reduce the frame-work to 
a minimum, and to increase the area of screen cloth, 
admitting more light and air. All of our metal frames 
are so substantially made and so thoroughly protected 
against rust that they can be relied on to give years 
of satisfactory service. 


Screen Cloth Easily Renewed: 


A cross section of our metal molding 
is shown full size in this illustration. 
Note the round rod that adds strength 
to frame, clamps the screen cloth se- 
curely without injuring it, and can be 
easily removed when new cloth is in- 
serted in the screen. With this form 
of construction screen cloth can be 
stretched taut, preventing absolutely 
unsightly sagging or bulging. Note 
also how edge of molding laps over 
rod, sealing the interior of molding 
against the entrance of dirt or water.

Special Screens: 

For double hung windows, sliding sash, or inwardly 
opening casement windows, outside screens are usually 
preferred. We build them to cover one-half of the 
window, or entire opening. Screens slide easily in the 
guides and are prevented from rattling by a heavy 
bronze spring—see illustration above. 

For casement, or hinged windows, opening out, we 
recommend our inside, twin sliding screens. These 
screens do not interfere with curtains or draperies and 
need be opened only part way to operate sash or 
awnings.

of cost furnished from any of these local offices or from the home office. 


Our fitters are experts employed the year around. We are happily placed in this particular as we 
manufacture and install Higgin All-Metal Weather Strips as well as Higgin Screens and ean, therefore, afford 
to carry a larger force of competent men than would otherwise be possible. 


Metal Frame Screens: 


Are of two types as illustrated numbers 1 and 2. 
Higgin Metal Frame Screens are made of galvanized 
steel, enameled both inside and outside so that all 
unsupported and exposed surfaces of the metal are 
protected. Frames are also made of solid rolled 
bronze or copper. 


Sereens illustrated as No. 1 have frames of hollow 
construction, so made that no solder is used, thus 
making it possible to thoroughly enamel the inside 
as well as the outside of the steel frame and bake it 
at the high temperatures necessary. The surfaces 
are plain and smooth. The corners have heavy con- 
cealed reinforcements, locked mechanically, the out- 
side moulding or frame being neatly mitered. This 
results in frames of extreme strength and rigidity. 

The wire cloth is held in the groove by means of 
a cam shaped non-resilient spline so formed as to 
roll into place and lock. This spline can be removed 
for the purpose of rewiring the screen without dam- 
age to either spline or frame. There are no sharp 
edges to cut the netting, which comes in contact with 


rounded surfaces only. 

Sereens illustrated as No. 2 are somewhat less in price than 
No. 1 and are made with an inside frame of 14” galvanized 
steel or copper clad rod. Around this rod the wire netting 
is drawn, stretched perfectly tight, and held securely there 
by the outside mouldings. The netting can not pull out or 
get loose, and there are no sharp edges bearing against it with 
a tendency to cut it as it expands or contracts with changes 
in the atmosphere. 


Wire Cloth: 


Is of genuine Anaconda Antique bronze wire, 16 meshes to 
the inch. Finer mesh cloth can also be furnished. This cloth 
does not require painting. Will not rust. 


Double Hung Window Screens: 


Screens for double hung windows may be single sliding, 
double sliding, or full length stationary or hinged. The slid- 
ing and full length stationary screens are fitted with com- 
pression side springs and seat in metal channels placed on 
outside stop bead and extend full height of window. 


Hinge screens seat in outside rabbet against stop bead. 
They may be either top or side hinged. 


Casement Window Screens: 


Screens for casements opening in may be full height sta- 
tionary set in guides, double sliding or hinged. If double 
siding, 114-in. space is required for double guides. Case- 
ments opening out may be screened with hinged screens 
opening in, or with vertical or horizontal double sliding 
screens. Hinged screens single or in pairs as conditions de- 
mand. With hinged screens a rabbet % in. deep and not less 
than 4% in. wide should be provided. Steel Casements in groups 
of two or more, windows of Hoffman, Whitney or similar types 
are conveniently screened with horizontal sliding screens. Screens 
may be divided into as many sections as necessary. Screens

brick. Designed for maximum simplicity and efficiency. 
The intake doors, built of cast iron, are installed in kitch- 
ens or convenient points where garbage and waste is de- 
posited in the chimney, which is used both for feeding 
purposes and smoke outlet. This model is especially de- 
signed for homes and 2 and 3-flat buildings. 


_Economical Operation: 

Materials and waste are deposited in the intake doors 
and dropped into the Incinerator through the chimney. 
The waste matter is then burned quickly, completely and 
without odors. This is made possible by the—

Kernerator— The Garbage and Refuse Burner 


Made By 
THE KERNER INCINERATOR CO. 


702 E. Water St., Milwaukee, Wis. 


Branches or Agencies in all principal cities. 
See Telephone Book for Address. 


Product 


ator” a built-in-the-chimney flue-fed incin- 

erator for the prompt, safe and sanitary dis- 

posal of garbage and refuse of all kinds, by burning, with- 
out cost. It is made in various sizes to properly meet the 
requirements of the small bungalow, or the large residence, 
also for Apartment Buildings, Schools and Hospitals. 


Description: (Refer to illustration opposite) 


The Kernerator consists of a brick combustion chamber, 
with fire brick lining, located in the basement of the build- 
ing into which is built a special arrangement of grates with 
patented by pass flue to provide proper Draft control to 
insure complete successful and odorless combustion of Gar- 
bage and Waste. 


One or more receiving Hopper Doors (shown below) are 
located in the flue (Regular Chimney) on the floor or floors 
above. In homes the Hopper Door is located in or near the 
kitchen. 


The Flue serves as a fall-way for garbage and waste 
deposited in the Hopper Door; also as a chimney to carry 
off the products of combustion during burnings. 

The Incinerator is constructed in accordance with detailed 
working drawings which are furnished with the parts. The 
drawings are clear, and the construction simple—so that 
the mason has no difficulty in building it. 


No Smoke, Heat or Odor Escapes Into Room: There is 
always a draft into a chimney from the building. When 
the hopper door is open (when depositing refuse) air is 
drawn into the flue from the room—there is never any pos- 
sibility of smoke, heat or odor escaping into the room— 
the suction of the draft into and up the flue prevents that. 


Operation 


Into the hopper door is put all refuse of every kind— 
garbage, tin cans, broken bottles, sweepings, waste paper— 
everything that is no longer wanted. This falls down the 
flue into the incinerator in the basement where it distributes 
itself on the grates into a more or less separated and loose 
pile permitting draft, fire and heat to circulate through and 
around it. 


When the incinerating chamber is nearly full the waste is 
ignited and the whole mass burns without further atten- 
tion. Watermelon rinds and other large pieces of vegetable 
matter may not be entirely consumed in one burning, but 


they will be smoked, sterilized and dried and will form fuel 
for the next burning. 


The fire sterilizes the entire chimney flue, maintaining a 
Sanitary condition throughout. The smoke soots the chim- 
ney walls and prevents any garbage from adhering to them. 
The inside of the incinerator contains soot, gas and creosote 
—all preservatives created by the action of the flames—- 
which kill all odors and germs. Garbage cannot decay 
between burnings for the same reason that meats do not 
decay when stored in the old-fashioned smokehouse. 


Every few months, or as often as desired, the ashes, tin 
cans and other non-combustible material accumulated on 
the grates can be dumped into the ashpit and removed. 


The Handy 
Hopper Door 


Is conveniently lo- 
cated in the kitchen,

immediately disposed 
or without leaving 
the room. No trips

Vertical Grate 


At the side of the horizontal grate on which refuse falls 
is the by-pass or vertical grate. Behind this is the by-pass 
or secondary flue. During burnings air comes up this flue, 
passes through the vertical grate and feeds heated oxygen 
to the fire, which is always on top of the burning material. 
Gases liberated from the refuse by the heat pass up through 
the flames and are consumed. This is what enables the 
Kernerator to destroy all waste without the addition of 
commercial fuel, and it is an exclusive patented feature,

Kernerator—The Garbage and Refuse Burner (Continued) 


Three Distinguishing Points 

The Kernerator destroys all refuse on the premises where 
it originates—destroys it by burning—burns it without cost 
—in the most convenient, sanitary and economical way, 
with only one handling. 


Advantages 


Sanitary—All unsanitary garbage and refuse containers, 
pits and screened locations are done away with. Nothing to 
draw flies, or other disease-carrying insects or vermin. 
Authorities agree that the proper method of garbage and 
waste disposal is to burn it on premises under the proper 
conditions. 


Safety—Waste piles are a fertile breeding ground for 
disease germs. Accumulations of rubbish in the basement 
are an eyer present fire and health hazard. The Kernerator 
eliminates this nuisance and danger. 


Convenience—The safe disposal of all table, kitchen and 
household waste, is done immediately without effort. Seventy 
percent of the housewife’s time is spent in “cleaning-up.” 
Much of this time is saved by the handy Kernerator door, 
right there in the kitchen. 


Economy—The Kernerator costs nothing to operate. The 
waste itself is fuel for its own destruction. 


Money Back Guarantee 

Every Kernerator is sold with the understanding that the 
method of burning, storing and sterilizing kitchen waste 
and household refuse in the Kenerator is strictly sanitary and 
efficient. Any time within six months after installing, in 
accordance with plans and specifications, and after a reason- 
able and fair trial, should method not prove satisfactory, 
metal parts may be returned to the Company and within 15 
days all money paid the Company for them will be refunded 
together with transportation charges. 

Note: With thousands of installations and years 


of service we have never had an Incinerator re- 
turned to us. 


Flue Areas 


The schedules below governs the minimum inside flue 
areas for chimneys to serve the Kernerator: 

Where one Hopper Door is installed on first floor 12”x12” 
flue; where Hopper Doors are installed on 2 to 6 floors 
16”x16” flue; 7 to 10 Floors 20”x20” flue, or larger flues in 
each instance. 


Include Kernerator in Building Plans 

The best time to install a Kernerator is when the founda- 
tion of a home is built—include it in the general masonry 
bids. If added as an extra the masonry costs may be 
higher. 

If there is a 12”x12” flue in or near the kitchen, the in- 
stalling of a Kernerator in an existing home is a simple 
matter. 

Smoke or vent pipes from boilers, furnaces, ranges, water 
heaters, etc., may be connected to the same chimney as the 
Kernerator if desired without any interference with their 
operation or that of the Kernerator. The one exception is 
fireplace flues—which cannot be joined to same flue as 
Kernerator. 


Special Service 


We have sets of different basement layouts for incin- 


erators, one of which will undoubtedly fit into your plans 
without any changes. These suggested layouts will be gladly 
mailed on request. 


A general view 
of a Kernerator as 
installed in the 
average home

nient Hopper 
Door in the kit- 
chen —a feature 
highly prized by 
every housewife.

Complete Wiring for Complete Comfort 

Homebuilders today react very quickly

complete comfort. 

Just suppose you could go through such 
a house as this. Picture to yourself what 
your reaction would be.

The doorway is hospitable. Its bracket 
hghts, one on either side, guide guests to 
the door and gleam a welcome.

A Pleasant Hall 

At the first step indoors you come within 
reach of a tumbler switech—at once the 
whole hall is flooded with light. You no- 
tice a convenience outlet in the baseboard. 
It suggests the decorative lamp set on a 
table, or a cooling electric fan. You also 
see at a glance how easy it will be to keep 
the hall clean. Your vacuum cleaner will 
plug in conveniently. Another button at 
the foot of the stairs catches your eye. 
You press it curiously and the light in the 
hall upstairs gleams out, brightening the 
whole stair-way.

'A Living Room that Gives 
Living-Ease 


Now turn into the living room. You cannot but 
approve of the way the fixtures are arranged. The 
centre fixture lights the whole room cheerfully. The 
wall brackets throw interesting spots of light into 
the corners. There are a number of convenience 
outlets. (The rule of the house is an outlet to every 
50 square feet of floor space.) You can picture the 
glowing lamps—one near a big comfortable reading 
chair—one in the corner where you might stage a 
card game and one next to the piano. And then you 
can imagine a comforting electric fan in the room 
next summer, direct connected radio set, and of 
course the electric vacuum cleaner in cleaning hours. 
The whole room suggests ease, charm, and restfulness. 


A Dining Room With 
Extra Comforts 


Now for the dining room. Probably the first things 
that interest you are the extra number of convenience 
outlets—extra comforts. Immediately a picture flashes 
into your mind. You are seated at breakfast. The 
electric coffee percolator is bubbling in front of you. 
Easy to reach out and take a fresh cup without 
stirring from your seat. And fresh toast is crisping 
in the electric toaster. Everything within reach. 
Then you’ notice the lighting. The centre fixture 
throws a pleasant amount of light on the table, and 
the wall brackets add to the charm of the room.

Light Housekeeping in 
the Kitchen 


Through the swinging door and into the 
kitchen. ‘‘ Will housekeeping be a burden 
of long hours and tedious tasks?’’ That’s 
the question in your mind as you look 
about. But very soon all doubts are set at 
rest. You notice that the lighting is care- 
fully planned—no shadows to make kitchen 
jobs harder. There’s a center fixture on 
the ceiling for the main illumination. 
There’s a lamp over the sink and a lamp 
over the kitchen table. The electrical stove 
is a great convenience—no coal or ashes to 
eart—and no fuel odors. In a wall placed 
at arm’s height you notice a twin con- 
venience outlet. You won’t have to stoop 
to plug in electrical kitchen utensils—elec- 
tric egg beater, household motor for mix- 
ing bread, ice cream freezer, meat grinder. 
And then, too, this outlet is near the sink 
and it can be used for the electric dish- 
washer. 


A Sun Parlor Planned 


for Leisure 


HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 


302 


Before mounting the stairs you explore 
the sun parlor. You see at a glance that it 
is the sort of a place you will enjoy lounging 
in. The centre light, brightening the whole 
room, may be turned on from the dining 
room before you step out. There is a twin 
convenience outlet in the baseboard. A table 
lamp will fit in here, possibly for a desk; for 
the sun parlor is a pleasant spot to work in. 
Occasionally you may want to bring your 
coffee percolator out here, or have a chafing- 
dish party. The convenience outlet will come 
in very handy. There is also another one on 
the wall opposite—up high. An electric fan 
will be an added comfort here. And, of 
course, the sun parlor will be just as easy to 
keep clean as the other rooms. The vacuum 
cleaner will do the job quickly. 


Up a Well-Lighted Stairway 


Back to the hall where at the click of a switch a 
full ight is thrown on the stairway and the hall 
above is also lighted. Once up the stairs you can 
turn off the downstairs light with a switch at the 
top of the stairs. The upper hall has the same con- 
venience that the lower had. The convenience out- 
lets are for an extra lamp, an electric fan, or the 
vacuum cleaner. 


A Bedroom with all the 
Details of Comfort 


Then into a bedroom. At once you see that comfort 
has been planned and put right into its walls. The 
centre light switches on at the door. On the wall 
there are two sets of two brackets placed to accommo- 
date a dressing table and a desk between them. No 
shadows to disturb you when you are dressing or 
writing—the light on either side takes care of that. 
And then there is a convenience outlet at the base- 
board next to the dressing table. You can use this 
for hair curler, vibrator, immersion heater. The 
convenience outlet at the desk is for an extra lamp.

Electric Wiring of Dependable Quality 


Guarantees the Comfort and Convenience 


of the Home 


Looking over at the beds you see a convenience 
outlet between them, and if you like to read in bed, 
you mentally place a lamp and a table there. You 
also are pleased to see that there is a switch in the 
wall within your reach when in bed, by which you 
ean turn on and off the lights of the room, 


You then open the closet door—and find it lighted. 
No squinting about in the dark for clothes. When 
you shut the door the light goes off. No forgetting 
to turn off the hght when you’re in a hurry. It’s 
automatic, controlled by the opening and closing of 
the door. 


And the Bathroom Has Special Comforts 


The bathroom is the next room to inspect. It is 
just as complete. 
the center fixture. There are two brackets on either 
side of the mirror to throw even light without shadow. 
And a convenience outlet at arm’s height in the wall 
makes it possible for you to attach a heater or elec- 
trical toilet accessories. That completes the second 
floor, for the other bedrooms and bathrooms are 
equally pleasant and complete.

A switch near the door lights up «

Even the Cellar Is Cheerful 


And so down you go two flights turning on 
and off lights as you go. The laundry is in 
the cellar—and here electricity is of the 
utmost importance. The place is well lit 
with one powerful centre lamp. A double 
convenience outlet in the wall at. arm’s 
height takes care of the electric washing 
machine, ironing machine, or electric iron. 
In another corner of the cellar are the vege- 
table and coal bins and the heater room. A 
lamp is centrally placed at each of these 
spots. And in the heater room you see the 
safety distribution panel and safety switch 
—safety-assurance for the whole wired 
house. 

With a final look at the cellar, your tour 
of inspection is over. You step back to the 
hall and announce —approval or disap- 
proval? Surely, approval! 


Today People Want to Buy COMFORT 
As Well As a Home 


Such a home as the one just described wins 
immediate approval. It brings up pictures 
of happy hours—of daily living without the 
usual worry and fuss—of ease at work and 
comfort during leisure. 

People are willing—more than that — 
anxious, to pay for this. The little differ- 
ence in the cost of a meagerly wired home 
and a home with complete wiring system 
does not count in the face of such comfort. 
And the finished or planned home that has 
comfort built right into its walls wins imme- 
diate favor with father, mother, children, 
everyone!

The Importance of Quality Wiring 
With wires and wiring materials built 
into the walls and hidden under floorboards, 


the only safe and economical wiring is the » 


kind that will last as long as the building. 
That is why it is so important to use only 
G-E materials from start to finish. 


A Feature that Adds Value to a House 


If you can show a man or a woman how 


completely a house 18S = 
wired, for utmost com- 
fort and convenience, you 
have a valuable selling 
point for the house. If 
you can also say that the 
Wiring material is G-E 
throughout, you have a 
ready proof of quality 
construction in the hid- 
den points. For G-E are 
the initials of a friend not only to the archi- 
tectural profession and members of the 
electrical industry but are equally well and 
favorably known to the great army of 
American house-holders 
and owners. The house, 
with the G-E wiring sys- 
tem in it, commands a 
higher price—anda 
quicker sale. 


What Is a G-E Wiring 
System? 

The G-E Wiring Sys- 
tem is a system of house- 
wiring, embodying ade- 
quate outlets conveniently controlled, and 
using G-E materials throughout. It pro- 
vides a minimum of one lighting outlet and 
one convenience outlet for every fifty square 
feet of floor space and switch control at 
every doorway. 


It is a guaranteed wiring system, be- 
cause General Electric, with all its prestige 
and reputation, stands squarely behind 
the quality of every piece of G-E ma- 
terial. It is a G-E contribution to the 
well-being and prosperity of American 
home-owners. 7 
G-E Wiring System Simplifies Bids and In- 
sures Quality Installation 
4p Having specified the 
G-E Wiring System, 
the general contractor 
knows that all elec- 
trical contractors are 
basing their bids on 
identical material; and 
that variations in bids 
represent factors other 
than the quality of the 
materials used on the job. 
By specifying and installing the G-E wiring 
system, both building and electrical con- 
tractors may unreservedly guarantee satis- 
faction and trouble-free service for the life 
of the house itself. 


When the G-E Wir- 
ing System is speci- 
fied, the builder is 
assured of a complete 
service which relieves 
him of the trouble of 
examining, classifying 
: and specifying the diver- 
q sified products of a num- 
ber of manufacturers; 
and he retains authority over the wiring 
installation. This is a mighty important 
fact to remember, for this is a feature 
just as individual to the G-I Wiring 
System as is the excellence of the products — 
themselves.

The G-E Wiring System is 
Advertised 


It is always easier to sell a product that 
is made by a manufacturer whom every- 
body knows. The G-E Wiring System is 
advertised from coast to coast, in two- 
color pages in the Saturday Evening Post. 
This campaign is making the average man 
and woman acquainted with wiring systems 
—appreciate the importance of quality 
wiring—and willing to pay for the highest 
quality. 


Nationally 


Electrical Specification Data 


General Electric engineers, working with 
experienced architects throughout the 
country, have prepared a book of ‘‘speci- 
fication data’’ for architects, and a com- 
panion book for contractors. Any architect, 
or a builder who plans a house without the 
help of an architect, can list his wiring 
specifications in accurate detail, simply by 
copying from this book. It has specifica- 
tions for five different types of houses, 
ranging in value from $6,000 to $50,000. 


This book, ‘‘ Electrical Specification Data 
for Architects,’’ is now available, without 
charge. 


G-E Proposal Forms 


To help the electrical contractor—but just 
as much, to help the builder or architect 
to study his wiring bids quickly and simply 
—General Electric has prepared ‘‘proposal 
sheets’’ for the presentation of wiring bids. 
Every electrical contractor using G-E ma- 
terials can obtain a supply of these, and 
you will be making your own job easier if 
you insist on seeing the bid neatly outlined 
for quick reading on a G-E form. 


How the “Home of a Hundred Comforts’ 
Helps the Builder 


Any builder planning a home for a pros- 
pect will find this book one that his prospec- 
tive client can understand and 
enjoy—that will help him in 
his house planning—and sell 
him the idea of wanting 
a complete G-E Wiring 
System. This book will 
help the builder, too, 
when he talks plans 
andprices. Ask your 
electrical contrac- 
tor for a copy 
, of the ‘‘Home 
= ~ of a Hundred 
i ES ~Comforts’’.

Where economy is the prime requirement and 
where local conditions permit, No. 14 Code Wire 
with suitable knobs, tubes and cleats may be used 
for branch conductors in what is eommonly known 
as knob and tube work. 


This method of wiring may be used only in word 
frame construction. Since armored conductors are 
vermin-proof and minimize the fire hazard which 
may result from short circuits, overheated WI1LeS, 
etc., an armored conductor installation is always 
preferable to a knob and tube installation.

Crane-Warlo Water Softeners, Water Systems, Deep and Shallow Well Pumps 
CRANE CO. General Offices: Crane Bldg., 836 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago 


FOR LIST OF BRANCHES AND SALES OFFICES SEE PAGE 338 


For Other Products See Pages as Follows. 


Crane-Warlo Water 


Softeners: 

Crane-Warlo Water Softeners have 
many structural and operating features 
which enable them to soften water the 
easiest, surest and cheapest way. 


Special Filter Screen: Replacing the bulky 
layer of sand and gravel used in other 
water softeners, the Crane-Warlo uses 
a special woven filter screen on which 
a patent has been applied for. This 
is of rust-proof Monel Metal, so finely 
woven that in the Size C-2 Softener 
there are approximately 12,000,000 tiny 
holes for water to pass through. This 
filter screen not only distributes the 
water but also eliminates all foreign 
particles. Because of its high filtering 
capacity it will soften muddy or cloudy 
water which would soon clog other 
softeners. When the flow of water is 
reversed in order to renew the water- 
softening mineral, all dirt is washed 
away. 

Only 1/37 of an inch thick, this filter 
screen saves hundreds of cubic inches 
of space, and this allows more room 
for the softening material. It gives 
the Crane-Warlo greater softening ca- 
pacity, size for size, than other soft- 
eners. 


Sectional View 
of Crane - Warlo 
Water Softener. 


Upward Flow of Water: Crane-Warlo softening capacity is 
increased from 7% to 11% by the upward flow, which keeps 
every grain of mineral in suspension with all of its sides 
exposed to the water. 


Chemical Mineral: Instead of the ‘‘natural clay” or “green- 
sand” used in some softeners, the Crane-Warlo employs 
Silox, a manufactured mineral which is the most perfect 
water softening agent known. Silox has a_ softening 
capacity four times greater, for instance, than “greensand.” 
Requiring fewer renewals, it saves the owner time, bother 
and salt consumed in each renewal. Silox 
will not disintegrate. Iron does not 
harm it. 


Improved Salt Cap: The special gasket of the 
Crane-Warlo salt cap lasts for years with- 
out leakage. The jack screw operating 
principle of the salt cap positively prevents 
jamming. 


Glass Lined Tank: The Crane-Warlo is the 
only water softener supplied with a glass 
lined tank. Fused to the inner side of the 


tank, the glass forms a permanent protec- ae fon) 


tion against rust or corrosion. On renewals, 
it withstands the action of the salt wash 
which soon eats away even the heaviest 
galvanized coating. 


Measure and Funnel: Crane - Warlo renewals 
are made easy and effective. A copper salt 
receiver measures the exact amount of salt 
needed. A timing funnel measures. the 
proper flow of water regardless of what the 
city pressure may be. 


Construction: Simple and sturdy construction 
in every part distinguishes the Crane-Warlo 
water softener. Only Crane valves and fit- 
tings are used. All materials are of highest 
grade. The handsome blue tank is bolted 
to a heavy cast iron base. It is the only 
softener which if necessary, could be taken 
apart and re-assembled without damage.

Water Systems: 

For suburbs and country 
homes, farms, etc., Crane-Warlo 
Water Systems meet every re- 
quirement. Capacities from 200 
to 6,000 gallons an hour for deep 
or shallow wells. Electric or 
fasoline power. 


Quality Materials: Crank Shafts 
have double-bearings of highest 
quality carbon steel, forged and 
specially heat-treated. HEvery 
bronze part is forged, not merely 
east. 


Perfected Design: Simple. No 
delicate or complicated parts to 
get out of order. Flood lubrica- 
tion saves wear. Even in a 
dimly lighted basement, the pat- 
ented visible oil guage tells when 
more oil is needed. The special 
device which prevents the oil 
from mixing with the water ha‘% 
no packing to wear, leak and 
need replacing.

Completely Accessible: In no other 
pump, are parts so easy to get 
at. For example, the suction 
valve can be reached by merely 
removing one nut. 


Parts Interchangeable: Bearings are machined to .0005 of an 
inch. So exact is the precision that parts are interchange- 
able without fitting. 


Thoroughly Tested: Every Crane-Warlo system is tested 
for five hours at the factory under full working load. It 
must prove its ability to pump its full capacity with stan- 
dard current consumption before it is shipped. 


Crane-Warlo Automatic Shallow Well Units: 


Crane-Warlo Shallow’ Well systems are 
furnished in various capacities, with electric 
or gasoline. motor pump and storage tank, 
ready for all plumbing and electrical con- 
nections, 

Size 215-A, shown above, has a 42-gallon 
storage tank, galvanized inside and out, with 
electrically welded seams. Its pumping ca- 
pacity is 200 gallons per hour, ample for 
families of three to five persons. Systems 
No. 215-B and 215-C use the same pump and 
motor, with tanks of 53 and 82 gallons ca- 
pacity for families of six and eight people. 

Where larger capacity is needed, we recom- 


eta mend the use of Crane-Warlo No. 400 outfit.

Crane-Warlo Automatic 
Deep Well Unit: 


The Crane-Warlo Deep Well Pump has a 
capacity of 150 to 250 gallons per hour, It 
is ideally suited for use with wells that 
range from 35 to 200 ft. in depth. 

All working parts are enclosed from dust 
and grit in a permanent housing. Pistons, 
gears, plunger rods, etc., are balanced to give 
efficient service. Every moving part operates 
in a flood of oil from a small rotary pump, yet 
no water can reach the oil side of the pump. 

Plungers are easily renewed, without dis- 
turbing the pump head itself. Motor, of % 
to 1 H. P., depending on size and depth of 
well, is of latest and most economical type, 
with two pole automatic control switch. An 
exclusive feature is the air pump, operated 
or disengaged by a simple lever.

28 Oak St., 


Productions 


A complete line of pumping equip- 
ment, including Hoosier Water Servy- 
ice, Hoosier Hand Pumps, Windinill 
and Power Pumps, and Star Wind- 
mills. 


The Convenience 
of Running Water 


Every home owner appreciates the convenience of 
an adequate supply of running water, under pressure. 
This is a convenience which may now be had in any 
home, even though you may decide to build your home 
many miles from city water mains. 


Hoosier Water Service equipment offers to subur- 
ban and isolated home owners a water service equal in 
every respect to that provided by city water mains. 
With this equipment any form of power, including elec- 
tricity, gasoline engine, or windmill, may be used, 
Motors suitable for current supplied from farm lighting 
plants are also furnished with these installations. 


The electric and windmill installations are auto- 
matically controlled, need no personal supervision other 
than an occasional oiling, and provide ample pressure 
at all times. 


Soft Water from 
Your Cistern 


Soft water, pumped from your cistern, and under 
pressure, is a thing found desirable in many localities, 
even though you may have city water in your home. 
Oftentimes the city water is too hard for many house- 
hold uses, and an ample supply of soft water for use in 
kitchen, aundry and bath proves a blessing. The 
installation shown to the right, in capacities of 120 and 
240 gallons an hour, are ideal ones for soft water 


pumping.

All Pump Surfaces 


. Inside 
Galvanized ae 


Hoosier Pumps, and the smaller 
sizes of pressure tanks, have an all- 
galvanized surface, inside and out. 
This is a heavy coating of pure zinc, 
apphed by the hot-dipping process, and 
provides a serviceable protection 
against rust and corrosion. Water as 


supplied through one of these installa- 
tions is delivered for use as pure as it comes from the 
well. This GALVAZINK surface is superior in every 
respect to paint, is easily cleaned, and will last as long 
as the metal to which it is applied. 
Hoosier Pumps, for either shallow or deep wells, 
are self-lubricating. One filling of crank case with oil 
provides lubrication for many months. 


Capacity, 249 Gallons an Hour. 
Tank Sizes: 33, 66 and 100 gallons. 


Equipment for Wells 
of Any Depth 


Hoosier Water Service equipment may be had for 
pumping from wells of any depth. Each installation is 
provided with air pumping attachment, so that air and 
water, or water only, may be pumped into the pressure 
tank.

Selecting Proper Size Water Softeners 
All Monarch Softeners Single Control Valve Type 

For ordinary household purposes a 
Softener should be of sufficient size so 
that it will not have to be reconditioned 
more than once every three or four 
weeks, while a longer period is even 
better. 


The table below shows the approxi- 
mate usage of soft water per week for a 
family ranging from two to ten persons 
| per family. By referring to this table 

showing capacities of Monarch Soft- 
hi! | eners, the correct size can be readily de- 
, termined; i. e., if you reside in a city 
pe having water of 20-grain hardness per 
U.S. gallon and there are four persons in the family, 
you will use approximately 490 gallons of soft water 
per week, or approximately 2,000 gallons per month. 

By referring to the table below you will find that 
for 20-grain water, our size MD-33 will soften 2,500 
gallons of water before recondition- 
ing is necessary. This size Softener 
would, therefore, provide a sufficient 
supply of soft water for one month, 
while if size MD-32 were used, the 
Softener would have to be recondi- 
tioned once every three weeks.

“Kompleat’”? Home Water System 


The V-K ‘‘Kompleat’’ automatic water system is 
an electric driven shallow well unit suitable for de- 
livering water from well, spring or any other source 
of supply where the vertical lift is not more than 
22 feet. 

This unit is especially adapted to suburban 
homes, country estates, farms or wherever water 
under pressure is desired. It is also used for deliver- 
ing rain water from cisterns for soft water supply. 
It is entirely automatic in operation. 

V-K water systems are made in a wide range of 
sizes, pump capacity ranging from 150 to 1000 gal- 
lons per hour and horizontal or vertical tank ranging 
from 20 to 1500 gallons. 

The outstanding feature of V-K pumps is the slow 
speed at which they operate to deliver their rated 
capacity. V-K slow speed pumps last a life-time. 


V K DEEP WELL 
= WATER SYSTEMS 

Style ‘‘G’’ is an electric driven 
deep well automatic water supply sys- 
tem suitable for delivering water from 
drilled wells. V-K deep well pumps 
are made in a large number of sizes 
—their capacity ranges from 120 to 
1000 gallons per hour and they are 
used in connection with the wells 
where the water level exceeds 22 ft. 


but is not more than 325 feet from 
the surface. 


V-K deep well systems are entirely 
automatic in operation, automatically 
maintaining a pressure of 50 lbs. in 
the pneumatic tank, or proper water 
level in the open elevated tank with 
which they are used. They are belt

V K AUTOMATIC 
ve WATER SOFTENERS 

V-K automatic water 
softeners are made in a 
number of different types 
and sizes suitable for any 
household requirements. 

The principle of the 
V-K softener is very sim- 
ple—the softener con- 
tains a sufficient quantity 
* of special treated natural 
mineral to last indefinite- 
ly. City water is passed 
thru this mineral which 
removes absolutely all the hardness and leaves the 
water pure, clean and velvety soft. 

This softener automatically reconditions itself— 
that is, when the mineral tends to become inactive, 
a solution of brine is passed thru it, bringing the 
mineral back to its original state. 

V-K softeners do not allow hard water to enter the 
soft water service lines. There is absolutely no 


chance for a mixture of hard and soft water. 

V-K automatic softeners are also furnished with a reserve 
soft water storage tank which insures an ample supply of 
zero soft water all the time, even during the reconditioning 
period. When desired, V-K automatic softeners are enclosed 
in an attractive cabinet which conceals the mechanisms and 
make a very neat appearing unit. 


V K SEMI-AUTOMATIC 
r WATER SOFTENERS 


Type ‘“‘A” Automatic Water 
Softener 


Type “SSA” Semi-Automatic Water Softener 


V-K softeners are also made in the semi-automatic and 
hand-operated type. Type ‘‘SA’’ semi-automatie softener 
illustrated is the nearest approach to the automatic softener 
ever built, the only difference being that in the automatic 
softener the brine is automatically injected into the mineral 
bed thru valves controlled by a meter, while in the semi-auto- 
matic it is admitted thru hand-controlled valves. 

The time required to recondition this softener is practically 
negligible as it takes just a minute to operate the two handy 
valves which are so conveniently arranged that even a child 
ean easily operate them. 

V-K softeners are made in two hand-operated types, known 
as type ‘‘M’’ and.‘‘V’’ type in addition to the semi-auto- 
matic type ‘‘SA’’ illustrated.

Penberthy Automatic Cellar Drainer 


Made by 
PENBERTHY INJECTOR COMPANY 


1242 HOLDEN AVE., 
Products 


On this page is illustrated and described but one of 
many products made by this company—the Penberthy Auto- 
matie Cellar Drainer—a device that for years has proved 
its usefulness and efficiency, when installed in the base- 
ment of buildings, in removing seepage, flood or back water 
from points below the natural drainage level of sewer, 

Other Penberthy products are: Automatic and Auto- 
Positive Injectors, ‘‘XL-96,’’ Swimming Pool Heater, ‘‘XL- 
96’’ Ejector, Water Gages, Water Heaters, Oil and Grease 
Cups, Air Cocks, Priming Cups, Carburetors, Reatomizers, 
Radio Products, Oil Burners, etc. 


Advantages 
The Penberthy Automatic Cellar Drainer operates by city water 
pressure and is compactly constructed to occupy the least possible space. 
It is entirely automatic and requires no attention after installation. 
All working parts are above water—no slime or corrosion to in- 
terfere with operation. 

A foot valye in the strainer seals suction pipe when the drainer 
stops working, holding all water in the pipe, so that it is always primed 
ready to start instantly. Also prevents flooding of cellars if for any 
reason the water pressure is insufficient to operate the ejector. 

Operating valve opens and closs instantly by action of water pressure. 

No leather washers are used as leather dries and warps, causing 
serious leaks. 

With exception of copper float, it is mad entirely of brass. 

The combination pressure water strainer and union furnished 
with every drainer (See letter A, cut No. 383) obviates the 
necessity of purchasing a union and makes it possible to clean 
strainer thus preventing the drainer from becoming clogged 
with dirt and refuse, 


Special Features 


A I—Patented lever and link action ad- 
justable to different water pressures, 
shows float to be nearly submerged 
before valve opens, and gives a pop 
to the opening avoiding any dead 
center trouble. 

F—Long lever increases operating range 
to 100 pounds. 

G—Rubber shock absorbers to project 
lever and stem sasembly from float 
impact. 

H—Float operates drainer automatically. 
J—Hjector below water level eliminates 
all suction and priming trouble. 
K—Small throat protectd against dirt 

by strainer, 

L—Improved and patented ejector of 
high efficiency using minimum water 
pressure. 

M—Emergency foot valve to prevent 
water from coming into cellar, also 
holds delivery pipe full of water 
when ejector shuts off, 

N—A pressure gage can be esaily at- 
tached by removing valve body plug 
which is provided with a % pipe 
thread, 

O—Pipe thread used, making it con- 
venient for attaching air chamber if 
necessary. 

P—Improved bevel seat, bronze valves, 
interchangeable without being ground 
into a special body. 

Q—Patented packing box gives large 
Rody of packing but eliminates fric- 
ion. 

It—Rotary Valve reduces all stem pack- 
ing friction and trouble. 

S—The movement has only one point 
of friction, Rotary packing movement 
is based upon natural unchanging 
laws. No springs. - Movement simple 
and unaffected by dirt. 

U—Reguires least floor or sump space 
—patented ffoat ‘‘built around suc- 
tion tube’’ construction. 

V—Both ends of brass tube. threaded 
outside—no possibility of eracking or 
plitting. 

X—Legs holding strainer about dirt 
Which may accumulate in bottom of 
sump. 

Y—Both ejector jets removable for re- 
placing or changing. 

Z—Strainer of large surplus area. 


M ty ¥

A—Strainer cutches all dirt and elimi- 
nates valve seat leaks and choked 
ejectors jets, also serves as pipe union. 


B—Valve Seats protected against dirt 
by strainer in water supply pipe. 


C—Bronze Valves give long service. 


D—Closing valve is positive, avoids 
waste of pressure water but not sud- 
den enough to cause water-hammer, 


Installation and Operation 


The sump or pit may be constructed of cement, 


: brick, sewer ¢ i 
pipe, or any other suitable material, eek. arom 


The compactness of the drainer requir 
only a very small sump, although it is good to have it a little fapeer tinal 


is actually necessary, especially in depth to allow dirt to settle below 
strainer. The pit should be placed so that all surplus water will Bae os

a see cut 382). nm next column are shown all n sa i ions 
the letters at top referring to cut No. 382. niet pes 


The drainer Valve (C) is normally im a closed position, 


in the sump it lifts the float as the water rises 


(L) until sufficient water has accumulat 

cause the buoyancy of the float to open the valve (c) thus starting the sone 
(F). The ejector pumps rapidly until the level of water in the sump is 
iowered to a point where the float (L) descending with the water, automatically 
closes the valve (ce). The cellar Drainer now remains inactive, using no pressure 
water until the sump has again filled with seepage water. The complete Cellar 
Drainer is below the floar level yet all parts are easily and instantly accessible 
without disconnecting pipes or removing drainer, All working parts are located 
at the top within easy reach.

Kaustine Septic Tanks and Chemical Toilets 


Manufactured by 


KAUSTINE COMPANY, Inc. 
200 Van Rensselaer St., Buffalo, N. Y. 


Products 


Chief products are: 
(1) Kaustine Super-Septic Tanks 
(2) Kaustine Chemical Toilets 


Principal Uses 


Where running water is available the Kaus- 
tine Super-Septic Tank provides a complete 
sewage disposal system, receiving the wastes 
from the home and disposing of them with 
little or no attention or upkeep. The sewage 
disposal of the modest cottage, large country F 
club, factory or entire community can be caredmcer Ff 
for by this system. mI 

The Kaustine Chemical Toilet provides a 
sanitary, convenient and comfortable indoor 
toilet for home, camp, school or factory, A 
water system is not required, 


Description of Products 


Due to the peculiar design embodied in this 
sewage disposal tank, the sewage undergoes 
a process of bacterial (anaerobic) decomposi- 
tion and gasification which breaks down the 
solids and leaves a liquid for final disposal. 
The bacterial action in this sewage disposal 
system is completely due to the positive but 
slow movement of the sewage through it. 
More complete liquefaction, less scum and 
sludge and a clearer and more easily-assimi- 
lated effluent are the results of these superior 
features of design. The danger of contami- 
nation of underground sources of water sup- 
ply is reduced to such a degree that health 
authorities throughout the country endorse 
the Kaustine method of sewage disposal. 

The Kaustine Standard Toilet is a com- 
plete sewage disposal system. It consists of 
an IRON Tank 
equipped with 
‘Agitator’? (sew-

Chem-o-let Self-Draining Chemical Indoor Toilets 


Made by 


WESTERN METAL SPECIALTY CO. 
3020 Calhoun Place, Milwaukee, Wis. 


Product: 


This company manufactures the Chem-o-let Self-Draining 
Chemical Indoor Toilet—a convenient, sanitary; indoor toilet 
that displaces the inconvenient, unsanitary outhouse used in 
those districts where there are no sewers. Chem-o-let is particu- 
larly adapted for farm and suburban homes, summer cottages, 
auto tourist camps, golf courses, ete. 


Convenient and Sanitary 


NO EMPTYING BY HAND—Perfectly Sanitary: 


The Chem-o-let is self-draining and is thoroughly sanitary. 
There is no disagreeable emptying by hand. The principle 
of sewage disposal is very simple and effective. The Lav-o- 
let chemical, mixed with water, dissolves and liquefies solids, 
at the same time sterilizing and deodorizing contents. When 
the large-capacity steel tank is full, it is automatically emptied 
by means of a valve at the bottom of the tank, operated by 
a key and control rod. Contents drain out into an old 
bottomless barrel, buried outside, and the effluent is absorbed 
by. the soil, 


Advantages: 


Chem-o-let adds to the appearance, comfort and living con- 
ditions of any home or other place in which it is used. It 
prevents many sicknesses and disagreeable features now asso- 
ciated with houses having no sewage facilities. It is valuable 
enough to be installed as a permanent fixture and low enough 
in cost to install temporarily in districts where sewers will 
eventually be built. 


Operation: 


Two cupfuls of Lav-o-let chemical are mixed with two 
gallons of clean water and the solution is emptied into the tank. 
One half gallon of Lav-o-let with ordinary use, will last six 
months in a home of four to six persons at a cost of $2.50 per 
year, or about 21 cents per month, as one treatment of solu- 
tion lasts for four or five weeks at which time the tank is 
automatically drained, as already described. After each drain- 
ing (every four or five weeks) fresh chemical solution is 
placed in the tank. 


Agitator Assures Thorough Chemical Treatment 


Complete chemical treatment of all deposits is assured by 
a special automatic agitator, which is an exclusive Chem-o-let 
feature. This agitator is in the bottom of the tank and is 
connected to the lower side of the seat cover by means of a lorg 
rod and swivel. As the seat cover is lifted preparatory to 
using the Chem-o-let each time, the agitator is automatically 
put into operation, and stirs up the contents of the tank. 
resulting in complete and thorough chemical treatment.

Costs Less Than Ordinary Outhouse 


The total cost of a Chem-o-let installation including all 
materials, fixtures and labor is less than the cost of an ordi- 
nary outhouse. The cost of maintenance is only about $2.50 
a year (for chemical), 


Two Styles 


Chem-o-let is furnished in two styles—the only difference 
being in the bowl. Type ‘‘A’’ has a glazed, white, vitreous 
china bowl, and type ‘‘F’’ a steel enameled bowl. 


Type ‘‘A” Chem-o-let:

Easily Installed: 


Anyone can install a Chem-o-let, as it requires no skilled 
labor, and full directions come with each toilet. Simply 
saw a hole in the floor for the tank. Cut a small hole through 
ceiling and roof for ventilating pipe. Run a pipe from bot- 
tom of tank to a barrel buried under the ground outside.

Manufactured by 


THE TRENTON POTTERIES CC. 


Trenton, N. J. 


Complete Line 


The Te-pe-co line does not only consist of a few 
baths, lavatories, closet combinations, sinks and laundry 
trays, but also includes every type of fixture required

Vitreous China and Porcelain 


Te-pe-co fixtures are made of vitreous china and porcelain, 
which are the only materials that will withstand every test 
required of a truly sanitary fixture. They are clay through 
and through. No iron or other metal is used. Therefore, 
there can be no rust, corrosion or peeling. They have the 
same hard, glassy, white surface as the finest table china. 
No acids, medicines or anything used in the bathroom, kitchen 
or laundry can penetrate or stain their beautiful lustrous 
surface. 


Superior Quality 

Substantiating every possible laboratory test, years of actual 
service has proven that Te-pe-co fixtures are of superior 
quality. The fact that many leading architects continue to 
specify them for the finest buildings in the country as they 
have for years past, is evidence of their durability. 


Improved Design 

In keeping with their superior quality Te-pe-co fixtures em- 
body every refinement and improvement in design known to 
modern day sanitation and possess many exclusive features 
that afford greater convenience than those of the ordinary 


kind. While void of ornamentation, they are, neverthe- 
less, beautiful in their very simplicity and clean-cutness 
of line. They combine beauty, utility and durability. 


Choice of Size and Design 

Te-pe-co baths, lavatories, water closets, sinks, etc., are 
made in various patterns and sizes and offer the widest 
latitude in choice of fixtures to meet the different building re- 
quirements. 


Trade Mark Guarantee

mark, which is indelibly stamped on every piece. It is your 
guarantee of the highest quality backed by a manufacturer 
who assumes all responsibility for their product and values 
their reputation of quality for which they are renowned.

A Bathroom Luxury Everyone Can Afford 


[é YOU lived in one of those palatial apartments on 
Park Avenue, in New York City, where you have 
to pay $5,000 to $12,000 a year rent, you still couldn’t 
have a better toilet seat in your bathroom than the 
Church Sani-white Toilet Seat which you can afford 
to have right now. 


Adds New Beauty 


The improvement in appearance made by a spot- 
lessly clean, all white toilet seat is certainly sur- 
prising. Its beauty and refinement are qualities every 
woman wants in her bathroom—a room she can be 
proud to have guests use. 


The Church Toilet Seat is all-white and stays white 
permanently—a sanitary seat that washes as easily as 
porcelain. Its white surface is neither varnish, paint 
nor enamel, but a durable sheathing as handsome 
as ivory. It won’t crack, splinter, chip, wear off 


or stain. Can be installed on your toilet in a few 
minutes and easily taken off and reinstalled if you 
move to another house or apartment. 


Send for “An Easy Way to Make a Bathroom 
More Attractive” 


This is the title of an attractively illustrated little 
book of sixteen pages, just off the press, that tells 
the story of the interesting way in which one woman 
discovered how to make her bathroom more attrac- 
tive. If you have sometimes wished that your own 
bathroom looked a little more attractive, this book 
will certainly be of value to you, and it is FREE.

STAMFORD, CONN. Made By MINNEAPOLIS 
PHILADELPHIA LOS ANGELES 
PITTSBURGH THE CHICAGO FAUCET COMPANY DES MOINES 
skeet 2700-2722 North Crawford Ave., Chicago KANSAS CITY, MO. 
Products: 


This company manufactures Faucets for every service, sold under the trade-names of QUATURN, a quick- 
compression faucet; and SEL-KLO, a self-closing faucet. Either of them is readily convertible to the opposite type 
without disturbing the faucet body. Also manufactures Drinking Fountains and Bubblers. 


Advantages: 

In compression type faucets the Seat 
Washer is usually the first part to wear out, 
then the Seat, next the Compression Thread 
on stem and in body. In ordinary faucets, 
the Seat is usually a little ridge of metal 
machined on body casting of faucet. When 
this is worn the faucet must be scrapped. 

In Chicago Faucets—Quaturn and Sel-Klo 
—the seat is not a part of the body—it is 
not even fastened to the body, but is a 
stamping from sheet phosphor bronze which 
slips into its place on the end of the sleeve 
just as easily as the seat washer goes on 
the end of the stem. 


The Thread is inside a sleeve which is 
economically and easily replaced when worn 
out. 


All wearing parts are renewable, and form 
a standardized unit easily and economically 
obtained from the plumber or supply house. 


Faucet Body: 


The faucet body is merely a rugged shell 
or container for the reception of the work- 
ing unit and is made in many attractive 
designs and- finishes to meet every faucet 
need. There is no wear of any kind on the 
body; consequently it will never have to be 
replaced. It is good for the life of the house. 


Handles: 


Handles are furnished in various designs and materials 
individual tastes. 


to meet all requirements and 


Close with the Pressure: 


Quaturn Faucets close with the pressure—not against

Illustration shows a Quaturn Unit 
in place in a kitchen faucet. 


This is the standardized working 
unit of Quaturn and “Sel-Klo 
faucets. Bodies vary according to 
use. Handles vary according to 
taste. The unit is always the same. 


Easily Convertible: 

As one working unit fits both it is a simple 
matter to convert the Quaturn (quick com- 
pression faucet) into the Sel-Klo (self-clos- 
ing faucet) and experienced contractors and 
builders will quickly recognize this advantage. 


Standardized Unit 
Construction: 

Chicago faucets—Quaturn and Sel-Klo— 
are standardized—one working unit fits them 
all. In large buildings reserve units are 
earried in stock (like electric light bulbs) 
and when a faucet leaks a reserve unit is 
put in place and the leaky unit held until 
convenient to replace it. 


Catalog: 

Our profusely illustrated catalog will be 
sent to any contractor or builder who wants 
to know more about Chicago Faucets and 
their adaptability for use in the modern 
home.

What Alberene Stone Is: 


Alberene Stone is a natural quarried stone— 
not a composition or an imitation—with the 
time-proof permanence of the hills from which 
it comes. It is a pleasing light gray in color, 
blending harmoniously with any surroundings. 
It is quarried in large blocks, sawed into slabs, 
rubbed to a satin-like finish, and fabricated and 
assembled in many forms for many purposes. 
It is hard and dense—it is non-absorbent to moisture, non- 
staining, resistant to all chemical action—it is non-chipping, 
non-flaking, non-sealing. 


Alberene Stone Laundry Trays and Sinks: 

These fixtures are made up from selected slabs of 
Alberene Stone, with tongue-and-groove joints held by con- 
cealed bolts and water-proof. cement, in units having the 
solidity and permanence of one-piece eonstruction. There 
are absolutely no cracks or crevices in which dirt or germs 
might lodge. Being absolutely non-absorbent and having a 
smooth surface easily kept clean, they are always dry, 
odorless and absolutely sanitary. Simplicity of line and 
correct proportions make them attractive and equally 
adapted to bungalow, apartment or mansion. 


Fittings, Heights, Etc.: 

Alberene Stone Trays and Sinks can be had with several 
different styles of legs or standards. Standard heights 16” 
and 24”; special adjustable legs can be furnished if specified. 
Faucets and fittings are not supplied with the tubs, but any 
of the standard styles in these can be provided by the in- 
stalling plumber.

Trays—I18 standard styles in sinks—and 15 standard styles

Garbage Can Receptacles, and Radiator Enclosure 
Cabinets. 


Reasonably Priced 

The Columbia Metal Box Company has standard- 
ized on a few sizes and styles which they produce 
in large quantities thereby enabling them to sell 
these cabinets at a price very close to that of the 
wood cabinet.

Unlike the wooden cabinet, there are no glued 
joints to warp and crack open. It is sanitary in 
every respect. The baked on white enamel finish will 
retain its lustrous whiteness for years undimmed 
and unmarred by moisture attacks or frequent clean- 
ing with soap and water. 


Construction 

These cabinets should not be confused with light 
gauge steel cabinets. The cabinet proper is stamped 
of heavy No. 20 U. 8S. Gauge Furniture Steel; the 
door is stamped of No. 16 U. S. Gauge Furniture 
Steel. There are no seams or cracks. All joints are 
electrically welded.

inet as it presents a really beautiful appearance in

“White-Steel” Medicine Cabinets 


Made by 


“WHITE-STEEL” SANITARY FURNITURE CO. 
Grand Rapids, Mich. 


The Original 
and Only 


The choice of medicine cabinets for the well ap- 
pointed modern home should be given the same con- 
sideration as the selection of fine plumbing fixtures. 
For medicine cabinets should be in perfect harmony 
with such equipment, embodying the same fine fea- 
tures of sanitation, lasting beauty, and great use- 
fulness. Choose them with equal discrimination. 


The Ultra Attractiveness and Construction of 
*‘White-Steel’’ Cabinets Is Everlasting 

The exceptional beauty, sound construction and 
exclusive sanitary features of ‘‘ White-Steel’’ Medi- 
cine Cabinets make them worthy of careful considera- 
tion. Add to this the fact that through a secret pro- 
cess their ultra attractiveness and construction is 
made practically ever-lasting;—then it is easy to 
understand why ‘‘White-Steel Cabinets are chosen 
by all who build for permanent beauty, convenience, 
sanitation and true economy. 


In the Bathroom, of course. But in the Lavatory 


and Over the Kitchen Sink as Well 


Many builders recommend the installation of 
““White-Steel’’ Cabinets in Kitchens and lavatories 


and builders. 


Materials Used 


Mirrors 


fixtures. 


Ventilation 


an important factor. 


Other Products 

In addition to the ‘‘White-Steel’’? Medicine Cabinets illustrated and described on this and following page, this company manu- 
factures Mirrors; Shelves; Towel Baskets; Racks and Bars; Soap Dishes and Holders; Toothbrush Holders; Toilet Paper Holders and 
Cabinets; Grab Rails; Shower Curtain Rods; Hooks for various purposes; Door Stops; and every accessory to equip bathrooms of 
the most modern type. 


Structural Superiorities 
Seamless Construction 

The entire cabinet is of die made seamless construction, is electrically welded throughout, 
and is strong and firmly built. 


A Product of a 


Secret Process 


as well as bathrooms. They know from experience 
that the added convenience and the touch of beauti- 
ful lasting construction they impart, repays their 
cost many times over, both in satisfaction to the 
home owner and in the actual sales value of the 
house itself. 


Henzin Metal—The Base of All ‘‘White-Steel’’ 
Medicine Cabinets 


The dampness and moisture that occur with sud- 
den temperature changes, particularly in the bath- 


_ room, are elements that ordinary steel enamel work 


cannot successfully meet. They are bound to form 
rust on the metal base which causes the enamel to 
lose its grip, seale off, discolor, crack and peal. 

Henzin Metal, the base of all ‘‘ White-Steel’’ Cab- 
inets, completely overcomes the moisture problem. It 
is Rust Resisting, a product of a secret process that 
cannot be duplicated or successfully imitated. Six 
coats of ‘‘White-Steel’? Enamel, each baked sepa- 
rately on this wonderful base, provides a finish that 
is as permanent as it is beautiful. Expansion or 
contraction has no effect on the finish or construction 
of these cabinets. 


Standard and Special Types 


“¢White-Steel’’ Medicine Cabinets are built in three types—Inset, (to recess) Wall 
(to attach to face of wall) and Corner cabinets (to fit in corner)—and in styles and 
sizes to meet every architectural requirement. Standard styles and dimensions are shown 
on the following page. 

We maintain a very efficient consulting and designing service which is free to contractors 


The Henzin Metal used for ‘‘ White-+Steel’’ structures are .050 to .250 gauge (approxi- 
mately 1/16 to 4 inch) except for the backs which are .025. Our dies and shop practice 
require a certain gauge to be used for a specific purpose, not permitting the substitution 
of cheaper or lighter gauge sheets to lessen construction costs. 


Mirrors are of first quality, plain, or with a sharp, steep bevel. Backs are properly 
silvered and are not affected by varying temperatures or room moisture. 

Shelves are of polished plate glass, %4-inch thick. 
1—Adjustable lock pivot hinge (patent applied for). Doors can always be properly 

centered thus eliminating wear. : 
2—Mounted white ceramic demountable knob to match the white handles of plumbing 


38—Shear clips provide easy installation in variable openings. 


4—Heavily reinforced at anchorage. 
5—No floating shelf supports. Supports are spot-welded—cannot become loose or lost. 


Step-in door and step-in door’ jamb providing sufficient, and invisible ventilation— 


Demoutable mirrors that can be easily installed by any competent workman. (Should 
replacement of accidental damage be necessary at any time).

See Next Page 


Standard Code of Installation of Warm Air Furnaces (Cont’d) 


Note 8. Use no warm air pipe less than 8 inches in diameter. 
If a basement warm air pipe figures greater area than any stand- 
ard commercial size then the next larger size shall be used. 


Note 9. It is understood in using the above valves for deter- 
mining basement warm air pipe areas, that these pipes should run 
comparatively straight and that they should not be over 10 to 12 
feet in length. Sharp turns and long pipes should have extra 
capacity. 


Note 10. These formulae are for 70° inside temperature with 
zero temperature outside. For a temperature of 10° below zero, add 
10% to the capacity of each pipe. 


Note 11. The value of 800 (used in cubic contents) is for an 
estimated air change of one room volume per hour. If it is desired 
to provide for 14% room volume use the figure 600. If for 2 room 
volumes use the figure 400. “The factors 9, 6 and 5 in sections 1,

Section 4. (a) Warm air Furnaces shall be enclosed in 
metal casings or walls of brick, tile or concrete. 


(b) Portable. Sheet metal casings including casing tops 
shall be made of galvanized sheets, not lighter than 26- 
U. S. Standard Gauge. They shall fit the castings and 
easing rings closely, so as to be dust tight, and shall be 
securely fastened to the front. The casing shall be lined 
from the upper casing ring down to a line on a level with 
the grate. 


(c) When side collars are used the casing top must be 
of sufficient height so that the largest warm air pipe can 


be taken from side without ovaling. In no case shall a 
distance less than eight (8”) inches be maintained be- 
tween the top of any furnace and the top of casing or 
bonnet. 


(d) Any furnace, the casing top of which shall come 
within sixteen (16”) inches of a combustible floor, ceiling 
or joist, shall be protected by a metal shield, extending 
not less than eighteen (18”) inches beyond the casing of 
said furnace. This shield shall be suspended at least two 
inches below wood work, allowing free air space between 
shield and woodwork. No furnace casing or top, coming 
nearer than six (6”) inches of ceiling or joists shall be 
allowed in any case. 


(e) Openings for side casing collars shall be cut into 
the casing top, so that the tops of all openings are on a 
level. Casing collars shall be fitted into place with a 
proper flange, or bead on the outside and drawn up on the 
inside, making a dust-tight joint. All collars shall be of 
same size as the warm air pipes to which they are to be 
connected.

corresponding size of furnace. Walls shall be carried to the 
same heighth as the portable walls, allowing not less than 
eight (8”) inches between the top of the furnace and the 
bottom of the top cover. After placing the collars for the 
warm air pipes, continue the masonry up even with the 
top of the collars, lay spacing rods of bar iron on edge 
or angle irons across the furnace top, cover these with sheet 
iron, cover the sheet iron with masonry and run the side 
walls four (4”) inches above the masonry bed. A gal- 
vanized iron casing bonnet may be used on brick set 
furnaces, 


Provision shall be made in the walls for a manhole to © 
give ingress to heater.

heating plants may be taken from outside or from within 
the building or may be taken partially from outside and par- 
tially from within. In no case, however, shall air be 
supplied to any furnace from any basement or furnace 
room. 


(b) The cold air intake or return where air is taken 
from Within the building shall have a net area throughout 
its entire length of not less than the combined net area 
of all warm air pipes leading from the furnace. This 
may be maintained in one or more ducts. 


(ec) When the cold air supply is taken wholly from the 
outside of the building the supply duct at its most con- 
tracted area must equal o rexceed eighty (80%) per cent 
of the combined area of all warm air pipes leading from the 
furnace. 


(d) Cold air ducts shall be constructed of metal, tile

10% greater than the area of the connecting pipe. 


(d) The cold air face or faces shall be made of wood, 
or metal. When set in floors the top of same shall be 
flush with floor. Where cold air face is placed in a seat 
or side wall (whether furnished by owner, general con- 
tractor or furnace contractor) the open work of face must 
extend to within at least one (1”) inch of the floor line. 


The free area of cold air faces shall be at least 10% 
in excess of the free area of the duct or ducts to which 
they are connected. 


Note 13. The effective area of a vertical cold air face lies within 
twelve (12”) inches of the floor line, hence, the capacity of any ver- 
tical cold air face shall be determined by multiplying the base line 
in inches by not to exceed twelve (12”) inches in height and deduct- 
ing for the grills or cross bars. 


Smoke Pipes 


Section 9. (a) The smoke pipe shall be as short 
and direct as consistent with the location of the furnace. 
It shall be made of either black or galvanized iron not 
lighter than No. 24 U. S. Standard gauge, and of the full

connection. It shall be lock seamed or riveted; all joints 
shall lap not less than one and one-half (114%4”) inches and 
it shall be rigidly secured. Cast iron smoke pipe may be 
used. 


(b) Where the smoke pipe enters the flue, a thimble 
shall be cemented into the flue and the connections thereto 
made air tight. Should any smoke pipe come within 
eighteen (18”) inches of any combustible material, such 
combustible material must be covered with asbestos paper 
and a metal shield so fastened that a two inch air space 
exists between this shield and the combustible material. 
This shield shall be no less in size than twice the diameter 
of the smoke pipe and of sufficient length to cover the 
wood at all points. 


(ec) No smoke pipe shall project through any external 
wall or window. 


Pipeless or One Pipe Furnaces 


Section 10. (a) When but one duplex grating is used 
for both warm air and cold air in a so-called pipeless 
furnace, the area of the cold air intake shall be at least 
equal to the area of the warm air outlet of the grating. 
Art. 4 See. 4, relative to casing shall not govern when this 
type of furnace is installed, but the following specification 
shall be followed: The inner and outer casing of this 
type of furnace may be made of either black or galvanized 
iron not lighter than No. 26 U. S. Standard Gauge. A 
uniform air space shall be maintained at all points between 
the inner and outer casing. In no case shall the top of the 
furnace be allowed closer than twelve (12”) inches to any 
ceiling or joists above the furnace. 


(b) Where joists are cut to accommodate this furnace, 
headers shall be put in and braced so as not to weaken 
the structure of the floor above the furnace. 


(¢) Article No. 3 for determining area of warm air pipe 
shall not govern in figuring a pipeless furnace.

rate face or faces for cold air supply are used, then Article 
No. 4, Sections 5 and 8 shall apply. 


Andes Furnaces — ‘For Better Heating”’ 


Made by 
ANDES RANGE AND FURNACE CORP. 


GENEVA, NEW YORK 


Products 


The products of this company 
are Ranges and Warm Air Fur- 
naces. The latter are described 
and illustrated on this page and 
on opposite page. Information 
regarding Andes Ranges will be 
mailed on request. 


Look at the Pictures 


You have only to look at the 
illustrations on this page to 
realize that here is a furnace that 
is radically different from the 
usual type of warm (or hot) air 
furnace. You will learn pres- 
ently why the Andes Furnace is 
purposely designed so that its 
height is but a little more than 
half that of other furnaces; but first we want to say 
a few words about 


Humidity 

Most warm (or hot) air furnaces supply air that 
is lacking in humidity—that is to say the air is rela- 
tively dry. Dry air has a tremendous capacity for 
absorbing moisture, and if the air supplied by the 
furnace is low in humidity every breath we take results 
in a loss of moisture from the membranes of the nose 
and throat which becomes dry and irritable and less 
able to cope with the germs of disease. The skin of 
our bodies, also, is robbed of its moisture, and so rapidly 
that we feel cold even when the thermometer tells us 
that the room temperature is 75 degrees. The furniture 
dries out and falls apart and house plants wither and 
die. 

The few quarts of water you put in the water pan 
of the average furnace are not sufficient to humidify 
the air. Four to twelve gallons of water (depending 
on the size of the furnace) must be evaporated daily 
in order to give the air its proper percentage of 
humidity, and as you increase the humidity (within 
certain limits) you save fuel, for air at a temperature 
of 66 degrees with 70 percent humidity gives one the 
same feeling of warmth as air at 74 degrees with only 
10 percent humidity. Andes Furnaces (Type BRN) 
are designed and, built to evaporate the quantity of 
water required to properly humidify the air—4 to 12 
gallons daily. 


Warm Air Rises 


It does not move sideways nor downwards except 
under pressure. Hence the more nearly vertical you 
make a pipe carrying warm air the more rapid will 
be the circulation of the air and the greater the heat- 
ing capacity of the furnace. This is why we build a 
low furnace. Note the pictures at the top of this page. 

For further details and 


= literature, write to: 


Above (on the left) you see the ordi- 
nary type of furnace, its top nearly 
touching the basement ceiling. The air 
pipes must be run almost horizontal and 
as a result the warm air moves slug- 
gishly and loses much of its heat before 
it reaches the rooms above. On the right 
is the low Type BRN Andes Furnace 
with the air pipe at an angle of 45° 


They show you why Andes Type BRM Furnaces give 
greater warmth with a lower consumption of fuel than 
any furnace you can buy. 


Write for Booklet 

The whole story of the Andes Type BRN Furnace 
cannot be told here, but we shall be glad to send you 
on request a booklet that describes and illustrates all 
the unique features of this furnace which has revolu- 
tionized the art of warm air heating. Some of the 
things described in this booklet are the Dust Remover, 
which sucks the dust from the ash pit up the chimney 
when the grate is shaken, so that it will not blow into 
your face when you open the ash pit door; and the 
Tongue and Groove Joints, with asbestos fibre gaskets, 
hat make every joint absolutely gas tight.

ANDES FURNACES—TYPE MDN 

The illustration at right shows an Andes Type MDN Furnace with 
casing removed. This furnace is made in three styles, as illustrated above, 
and each style is made in five sizes, insuring a size exactly suited to the 
requirements of any house, large or small. 

Note the 12 Points of Superiority enumerated under illustration at right. 
These structural features result in a furnace that is highly efficient and a 
wonderful economizer of fuel, justifying the Andes slogan: “Better Heating 
for Less Money.” 

Andes Furnaces are adapted for burning hard coal, soft coal, coke or 
wood. They are lower in height than most furnaces and hence, even when 
installed in low ceiling basements, it is possible to give a good pitch to the 
warm air pipes which results in the heated air rising more quickly and in 
greater volume. 

Complete data on sizes, dimensions and capacities will be gladly furnished 
on request.

Especially designed for home-heating Oil Burners. 
A coal-burning furnace that is converted into an oil burner 
is always a make-shift at best. But here is a furnace that 
is designed to burn oil—built to burn oil—and that burns 
it with a degree of efficiency and economy that is startling. 


High in Efficiency—Low in Price 


Cole’s Oil-Craft Furnace is endorsed and recommended 
by the Chicago Oil Burner Association. It gives better 
results with any type of oil burner than is possible with 
a hot air furnace not especially designed to use this labor- 
saving fuel. In the bitterest winter weather it sends up 
to the most distant rooms a steady volume of comforting 
heat, with just the right degree of humidity. Best of all 
its cost is low—low enough so that you can figure on in- 
stalling it in any house you build. Write today—now—for

128 Oil Burner Engineers Helped 
Make this Furnace Perfect 


128 Oil Burner Engineers co-operated with us to make 
the Oil-Craft Furnace perfect. They named every pos- 
sible requirement. They suggested every improvement that 
would increase efficiency. And then, with all possible out- 
side data before us, we brought to bear on the problem 
our own long experience as manufacturers of heating 
equipment. 

The result is Cole’s Oil-Craft Furnace, the most perfect 
type of oil burner for home heating ever produced. It 
may be used with any type of oil burning equipment on 
the market. It has the powerful radiating surface required 
to give the best results when oil is used as fuel and it is 
absolutely gas-tight. Parts are so designed that the furnace 
can be quickly and easily converted into a coal burner if 
desired.

The Red Cross Empire Furnace 


A Furnace which would give maximum heating efficiency 
at minimum ecost of installation and upkeep was the 
dominant idea,in designing and building the Red Cross 
Empire. 

The Red Cross Empire embodies in its construction ev ery 
feature essential to “Make Good Heating Certain,” but it 
is devoid of expensive frills 
and novelties. It is a distinct 
help in the rental or selling 
value of any home. 


The result is that it has 
established an enviable reputa- 
tion for genuine heating ef- 
ficiency, fuel economy and 
durability second to none. 


An abundant supply of 
warm air is delivered by the 
Red Cross Empire Furnace be- 
cause of its extra large radiat- 
ing surface. The size and 
weight of its various parts 
are carefully proportioned to 
give maximum radiation with 
a resulting fuel economy. 


Red Cross Empire with Steel 
Radiator-Castings only. 


Construction 


Only the highest grade of tested metals are used in 
Empire Furnace construction. Each section is carefuily 
fitted to insure quick and easy assembly. Deep cup joints 
where the fire pot, combustion dome and radiator join 
together allow for thorough and permanent cementing—the 
Empire is absolutely dust-proof and gas-tight. The ash pit, 
fire pot, grates and combustion dome in the Empire are all 
sturdily built ; extra heavy where needed and of the correct 
shape to insure utmost heating efficiency. The casings are 
eorrect in proportion to the size of furnace, neither too 
large nor too small, giving the correct free air passage. 


Sizes 

The Red Cross Wmpire is made in a complete range 
of sizes to fit all ordinary warm air heating requirements. 
It is made with fire pots from 18 to 26 inches in diameter ; 
with Steel or Cast Iron Radiator and in High or Low Con- 
struction Type. It is equipped to burn all fuels including 
wood for which a flat wood grate is furnished extra. 


Steel or Cast 
Radiator 


The selection of either 
a Steel or Cast Radiator is 
largely a matter of pref- 
erence and buying habits. 
The Empire is furnished 
with either type and both 
styles are famous for their 
large radiating capacity 
and the _ efficiency with 
which they deliver heat. 


All possible heat units 
are extracted from the pro- 
ducts of combustion in the 
Empire radiator — this 
means fuel economy. 


High Construction 


Style Red Cross Empire Cased View 


Pictured to the right, this is the regular type of furnace 
and for use in all cellars of regulation height. 


Low Construction Style 


Pictured below, this type Empire is for use in low and 
shallow cellars. It may be installed in a cellar as low as 4 
feet 9 inches and still give good pitch to the warm air pipes.

Victor Boiler Plate Furnaces with Intercepting Heat Con- 
veyors—a new and improved type of radiator—have much 
greater heating efficiency than furnaces of conventional 
design, making savings in fuel consumption which will pay 
the cost of the furnace over and over during its lifetime. 

This increased heating efficiency also causes much more 
rapid air movement, greatly improving ventilation. The very 
great fuel saving obtained means less firing and very littie 
attention to regulation, and less ashes to be removed. 


Greatly Improved Radiator 

The greatly improved radiator design of the new Victor 
Furnace—called Intercepting Heat Conveyors (patented 
January 2, 1923)—has three times the radiating surface 
obtained by conventional designs. It eliminates obstruction 
to air movement, and it does away with soot-clogged radia- 
tion, because the smoke does not pass through this new 
type radiator. 

You will find the New Victor Boiler Plate Furnace the 
most satisfactory equipment you can put into your new 
home. We feel the utmost confidence in making this asser- 
tion because of the great praise for the performance of this 
furnace that has come to us from hundreds of home owners 
now using it. The New Victor Boiler Plate Furnace is well 
built in every detail, and it will last the lifetime of a home. 
Many of our furnaces of similar materials and workman- 
ship are in service now after more than 20 years of con- 
stant use, and this new and improved design will prove more 
durable than the old type, because of the improved radiator. 

For the investor building to sell, the New Victor Boiler 
Plate Furnace will be a great asset. This efficient heating 
plant will help make a property sell promptly, and the New 
Victor Boiler Plate Furnace costs no more than any other 
good furnace. 


Easy to Install 

The design of the Victor Furnace makes it easy to in- 
stall. The two section dome can be moved through any 
stairway into a basement. Other parts, too, are easy to 
handle. The Neal sectional casing goes together quickly, 
and its patented joints make the casing smoke tight and 
dust tight.

Victor Boiler Plate Furnaces are built of the best mate- 
rials, and fine workmanship in every detail make them give 
the longest service, with the greatest freedom from trouble 
of any kind. 


1. Intercepting Heat Conveyors (Pat. Jan. 2, 1923) are 
an advanced radiator design giving remarkable increases 
in furnace efficiency. This new type radiator cannot clog 
up with soot. 

2. The Intercepting Heat Conveyors are mounted on 
each side of the furnace simply by hanging them on welded 
hooks. 

3. The strongly reinforced flanges holding the flue sec- 
tion to the furnace are air-tight, smoke-tight and gas-tight. 

4. A heavy plate at the point of greatest fire strike 
protects the furnace against all possibility of damage. 

5. Where the flue connections pass through the furnace 
casings, gas-tight, smoke-tight and dust-tight flanges are 
used. 

6. The flue connection provides a direct draft to start 
a fire quickly and diving draft for greatest heating efficiency 
when the fire is well developed. 

7. A 2 inch lap joint between the two sections, 7 inches 
below top of fire brick, insures against smoke or gas enter- 
ing the circulating air. ‘ 

8. The base ring of the NEW VICTOR Furnace is one 
piece casting of such great strength that the furnace may 
be mounted over a pit if desired without using a supporting 
pillar in the pit. 

9. The water pan is conveniently placed and of large size. 

10. The flue damper is controlled from the front of the 
furnace, by a simple and positive device which is easily and 
quickly adjusted as required. 

11. Lower smoke damper is to be adjusted according 
to strength of draft and fuel used, and does not require 
further attention. 


The fire bowl is linéd with heavy fire brick, closely fitted, 
giving an average length of service of 15 to 18 years with- 
out replacement.

THE ADVANTAGES OF WARM AIR HEATING 


The warm air furnace is the most 
popular heating plant for homes be- 
cause it is less expensive to install— 
and is more economical, convenient and 
healthful than any other system. Low 
first cost and economy are not the 
most important advantages. The cold 
air return system, an essential part of 
every correctly. installed warm air 
plant, maintains a gentle circulation 
of warmed air that makes for uni- 
formity of temperature everywhere 
throughout the house. The floors are 
always warm and there are no cold 
spots near windows or in remote cor- 
ners, 


Eivery Moncrief Furnace has a large 
water pan for humidifying, or moisten- 
ing the air automatically as it is 
warmed. Properly humidified air of 
65° is more comfortable than dried out 
air of 75°. Heating engineers estimate 


A MONCRIEF FURNACE FOR EVERY HEATING NEED 


Moncrief Furnaces are made in all sizes and of all types— 


Pipe, Pipeless and Three-pipe. 


The most popular Pipe Furnace is that shown in illustra- 
tion—called the ‘500-A” series. It includes all the Mon- 
crief features and is distinguished by the extra large feed 
door to admit any kind of fuel—and the Moncrief burns all 


kinds of fuel to equal advantage. 


MONCRIEF 
Warm Air Heating 
Pipe and Fittings 


We also sell practically everything 
needed for a warm air heating installa- 
tion. Our pipe and fittings factory is 
one of the largest in the country for 
the manufacture of single and double 
wall pipe, elbows, angles, boots, boxes, 
and specialties. All materials used are 
of first quality, and our products are 
distinguished by remarkable unifor- 
mity and accuracy. 


Large stocks enable us to make 


prompt shipment of all items 


that 25% of the fuel is burned in add- 
ing these last ten degrees. 


In flexibility, or responsiveness, a 
warm air heating plant is unequalled 
It will give additional heat quickly 
after opening the drafts, or subside 
just as quickly on closing them. 


A warm air heating plant is so sim- 
ple that there is practically nothing to 
get out of order. The registers in the 
living rooms are much less noticeable 
Ger radiators and take up no space 
at all. 


A warm air furnace should be larger 
than required for ordinary temper- 
atures so that it will not have to be 
forced to provide heat in very cold 
weather. The warm air pipes should 
be of ample size, likewise the cold air 
returns. A furnace system of ample 
specifications will prove more durable 
than any other kind of heating system.

MONCRIEF TUBULAR FURNACES 


For Large Residences, Churches, Schools, Stores, Garages, Etc. 


The Moncrief Tubular competes most 
favorably for heating buildings hither- 
to deemed necessary to be heated by 
steam. The first cost is much less 
than that of a steam plant, in many 
cases almost half. The fuel consump- 
tion is lower. A low grade of fuel can 
be burned to advantage. 


Air is humidified automatically, re- 
sulting in more healthful heating. 
Humidified air is more comfortable at 
lower temperatures. This means econ- 
omy. 


One of the greatest advantages,

HESS WELDED STEEL FURNACES 


Manufactured by 
HESS WARMING AND VENTILATING COMPANY 


1207-1227 South Western Ave., Chicago 


Products: 

This company manufactures the Hess Welded Steel 
Furnaces for hot air heating in both pipe and pipeless 
types. 


Hess Snow White Steel Medicine Cabinets and Mir- 
rors are described on page 347. 


(Trade Mark) 


Description: 


Hess furnaces operate efficiently on any kind or grade of 
fuel, their construction making them proof against any 
leakage of smoke, gas, dust, odors, etc. They can be easily 
arranged for utilizing natural or artificial gas as fuel, and 
any of the numerous oil burners can be used with the 
greatest efficiency. 


Construction: 


The Hess Welded Steel Furnace is not a sectional furnace. 
There are no cemented or bolted seams to become leaky. 
The entire inner body, or radiator, is made of heavy 
annealed steel sheets—No. 12 gauge—which is about %-inch 
thick. These steel sheets are firmly clamped together and 
riveted at intervals. An intense heat is applied with an 
acetylene-oxygen torch, or an electric arc is applied where 
the plates meet, until the metal softens and the plates fuse 
together in one continuous body of steel without a joint 
of any kind, making an absolutely and permanently tight 
construction that cannot leak gas, smoke or dust, regardless 
of the kind of fuel used. 


Fire Box: The fire-box iS square with vertical sides, Which 
permits a deep, even fire and perfect combustion of fuel. It 
is set close to the front of the furnace making the work of 
caring for the fire easy and convenient. The grate surface 
extends under the entire fire which prevents fire going dead 
around the edges or in spots. It is lined with heavy fire- 
brick slabs about 2% inches thick, similar to the slabs used 
to line cupolas and blast furnaces for the melting of iron 
and steel. These slabs rest upon steel brackets and clamps 
hold them in position at the top so they cannot fall out of 
place, but they can easily be removed and replaced when 
necessary as they readily pass through the firedoor and 
drop into position without the use of tools. Firebrick will 
withstand ten times the heat that will melt cast iron so 
it readily resists any heat produced in a furnace. 


Hess Pipeless Furnace: 
In this type of furnace, the interior arrange- 


Grate: The grate is made up of a series of parallel 
rocking bars with square ends projecting through 
the front of the furnace. Each bar may be agitated 
or turned over completely, independently of any other 
bar, permitting the cleaning of any part of the fire 
without disturbing any other part. For burning 
lignite or soft coal slack, special grates with fine 
mesh openings are furnished. An efficient burner for 
natural or artificial gas can be supplied at a small 
additional cost. 


Water Pan: The water pan is placed just above the fire- 
door where it heats quickly and in ordinary winter weather 
will evaporate four to eight gallons of water daily—suf- 
ficient to properly humidify the atmosphere and render 
healthful heat and reduced fuel bills. 


Double Casings Prevent Heat Loss: To prevent loss of heat 
in the cellar, Hess furnaces are built with a double casing, 
one within the other, making a double air chamber. The 
inner casing or lining is of black steel and a current of 
cool air is continually passing through the space between 
it and the outer galvanized steel casing and conveying the 
heat to the rooms above instead of radiating it into the 
eellar through the sides of the furnace. The two largest 
Hess models—Nos. 58 and 60—are provided with two im- 
mense air flues, passing vertically through the radiator, 
back of the firebox. These flues increase the radiating sur- 
face very materially and their vertical position increases 
the velocity of the air passing through, materially increas- 
ing the heating efficiency of these larger furnaces. 


Cleanout Door: The cleanout door is located at the base of 
the smoke pipe, and as the only place where soot can ac- 
cumulate is in the settling chamber back of the firebox—an 
open square space just like the ashpit—every particle of 
soot, ashes and dust are quickly and easily removed through 
the cleanout door. 


Water Coil: A water coil for heating the hot water tank 
can be supplied at an additional charge. Special water 
coils for heating hot water radiators located in distant or 
much exposed rooms difficult to reach with the usual tin 
hot air pipes can be furnished. 


Hess Pipe Furnace 


ment of radiator, fire-box, grates, smoke outlet 
and doors is exactly the same as in the Hess 
Pipe Furnace. The difference lies in the ar- 
rangement of the outer casings and its con- 
nection with the heat and air supply register. 
The furnace is set directly under a large register 
face or grating, divided into two sections—a 
central heat outlet entirely surrounded by a 
return air inlet. 

The pipeless method of heating while ex- 
ceptionally economical in fuel consumption, is 
not adapted to all types of homes. Best results 
are obtained in houses wnere the rooms are ¢on- 
nected by liberal sized open:inzs instead of or- 
dinary doorways. We will gladly check over 
any layout sketch of rooms and frankly state 
whether or not a pipeless furnace will heat 
satisfactorily. 


Sizes: 


Hess Welded Steel Furnaces are made in a 
variety of sizes for the heating of homes up to 
twenty rooms. 


Service Department: 


Our Service Department is available, without 
charge, to assist contractors and builders in 
laying out efficient and economical heating 
systems. Send for our booklet “Modern Furnace 
Heating” an unusually exhaustive treatise on 
the subject of hot air heating and containing 
complete details of Hess Welded Steel Furnaces.

NUGENT’S WARM AIR FURNACES 


REGISTER Made By RELNSLE 
TYPE Ls 
eres ace THOS. NUGENT SONS, Inc. Established 


223 East 80th St., New York City 1878 


Products 


For nearly half a century Thomas Nugent (the founder of the company) 
and Thomas Nugent’s Sons (his successors) have concentrated on one subject 
—the possibilites cf warm air heating. As a result of this intensive study 
the furnaces designed by this company possess distinctive and advantageous 
features not found in any other makes of furnaces. Two types of warm air 
furnaces are made—the multiple register type in which a separate register is 
used in each of the rooms to be heated: and the single register (or pipeless) 
type in which one large register installed in the floor directly over the furnace 
heats the whole house. 


Multiple Register Furnace 


The illustration at right shows a Nugent Furnace of the Multiple Register 
Type, with galvanized iron jacket removed. This furnace is very substantial 
in. construction and all parts as far as practicable are made of refined wrought 
iron, or steel, whieh are far superior to cast iron as heat radiating surfaces. 

An indirect as well as direct draught is provided which results in better 
regulation of the fire in moderate weather, as well as in fuel economy. 

Provision is made for humidifying the warm air, while radiating pipes and 
a radiator damper of unique design greately increase the efficiency of the furnace. 

These furnaces are made in four sizes, designated by the numbers 9—3—10 
and 25, the specifications of which are as follows:

MULTIPLE REGISTER FURNACE 
(Galvanized Iron Jacket Removed) 


Single Register (or Pipeless) Furnace 


For the small home (and for the small church, store, public garage, theater, 
etc.) the Pipeless Furnace affords the best method of heating, being much 
lower in first cost and in eost of installations and equally efficient as furnaces 
requiring numerous warm air pipes and registers, provided the building to be 
heated is one that permits of free circulation of air throughout its interuor. 


This is the important consideration in determining whether a _Pipeless 
Furnace can be used to advantage, for in this type of installation the whole 
volume of heated air is delivered to one centrally located room, or hall, and 
quickly spreads throughout the house if free passage is provided from room to 
room. 


Only one large register is required in this type of installation and this 
is divided into two parts—a central portion through which the warm air rises 
to the room above the furnace and an outer section down which the cooler air 
is drawn to the furnace to be released and again delivered to the room above. 
There is, therefore, a constant circulation of air throughout the house, due solely 
to convection currents arising from the relative temperature of the freshly heated 
air and the cooler air that is displaced by it.

and ‘‘Perfect’’ Warm Air Heaters are particularly economical

fire will quickly take the chill from the house. 

Warm air heaters as scientifically and carefully constructed

tive Heater has flanges in air channel which fit 
directly over body flanges and form a complete 
air column of peculiar shape extending from 
ashpit to top of heater. These air columns 
drive air with great force by rapid heating. 
Flue travel of from 8 to 13 feet is divided by 
a horizontal diaphragm which forces the hot 
gases to pass twice through the radiator before 
escaping through chimney. Radiator is easily

‘Perfect’? Pipeless Heaters 


The 200 series ‘‘Perfect’’ Heater is used in the pipeless 
heating system. Extensions to the panel front, larger casing 
rings, and the outer bonnets and cases complete the change. 
On account of its over-size air chambers this pipeless heater 
has proved extremely satisfactory. The capacities in cubic 
feet are carefully determined and guaranteed by us. They 
are conservative so that heater will do its work in extremely 
cold weather without more frequent fuel attention. 


Base 


The heavy 12-inch straight 
side base provides a substantial

Steel Radiator 


Radiator is 15 inches high 
and made of 18-gauge steel. 
Cup joints in top and bottom 
are gas tight. The flue travel 
is greater than the average for 
getting the greatest heating 
value from the coal used. The 
large heating surface insures 
ample heat. The cleanout open- 
ing at the front of radiator 
permits easy cleaning. 


Cast Iron Radiator 

This is a heavy one-piece 
radiator, 12 inches high, and 
is recommended for soft coal 
or wood. It is far superior to 
the usual two-piece cast iron 
radiator and on account of its 
construction there is equal ex- 
pansion throughout and no 
danger of breakage in use. Its 
internal construction permits 
the same long flue travel as the 
steel radiator. 


Body 


A heavy ribbed body with 
proper allowance for complete 
combustion of fuel. Large 
single door for easy firing. 
Openings are placed to left of 
fire door for pipe connection 
when domestic water is to be 
heated by a coil. A full cup 
joint assures. gas-tight connec- 
tion with radiator. 


Panel Front 

Is built only wide enough to properly provide for feed door 
openings, thus assuring additional saving in coal as wide panel 
fronts usually cause a heat loss. 


THE “PERFECT”

Gilt Edge Warm Air Furnaces 


Manufactured By 


R. J. SCHWAB & SONS COMPANY 


283 Clinton St., Milwaukee, Wis. 


A Contractors Furnace 

To meet the demand of con- 
tractors and builders for a highly 
efficient furnace on a price basis, the 
Gilt Edge Fireside line was designed 
and developed. The Gilt Edge in- 
corporated in the name of this heater 
stamps it as a product worthy of your 
confidence. 


Construction 

The Gilt Edge Fireside is a 
sturdily built furnace, superior in 
every detail of construction to com- 
petitive furnaces, selling at even a 
higher price. A one piece base plate 
—two piece firepot—heavy feed section—two piece 
all cast radiator, and double contact sealed points 
throughout make the Fireside easy to install, and 
thoroughly efficient. For convenient operation, the 
following features in design are incorporated :—large 
feed door—front knee-high water pan—large ash pit 
opening—a handy cleanout—lecomotive type of flat bar 
grates, etc.

Oil Burner Installations 

Oil burners are being installed 
in Gilt Edge Furnaces with a high 
degree of satisfaction. The double 
contact sealed joints do not allow 
for gas or odor leakage. The 
large feed door permits a ready 
installation of the burner. 
Quickly removable grates can be 
speedily replaced in case the 
burner ceases to function properly.

Accessories 

An automatic humidifier filler 
can be purchased at a slight addi- 
tional cost, and will relieve the 
bother of keeping the water pan 
filled. 

Waba water backs illustrated be- 
low supplant the old fashioned pipe 
water coil. This type of water back 
has an extra 
large exposed 
heating surface, 
which insures 
an abundant 
supply of hot 
water at all times during the winter 
months. 

In case it is advisable to install 
a small radiator in a garage, den 
or bathroom, a large size water heater built on the 
lines of the above pictured water back, and capable 
of carrying 100 feet of radiation, can be supplied. 


Anti-Clinker Grates 


Heavy, locomotive type of flat bar grates are used 
in all models of Gilt Edge Furnaces. 

The furnace grates are the watch dogs of economy— 
if they are not constructed along proper scientific lines, 
a tremendous accumulative fuel waste will take place. 
Gilt Edge Grates are link-connected and in shaking 
rock with each other instead of away from and toward 
each other, as in the old style triangular bar grate. This 
feature of link hanging makes them practically anti- 
clinker in operation because of the grinding motion set 
up when agitation takes place. 


Note the Heavy Flat 
Bar Grates and Sim- 
plified Method of 

Grate Hanging.

Strai¢it Ribbed Fire Pot 


A Quality Furnace ee 


Gilt Edge Furnaces have 
been on the market for al- 
most fifty years and the pres- 
ent 500 Series is in keeping 
with the high quality stand- 
ards of workmanship which 
have thoroughly established 
Gilt Edge Furnaces as a 
quality product. 


The Average Home 


Poumtuie average home, 
costing, from $2500.00 up to 
$15,000.00, warm air heating, 
without a doubt, proves most satisfactory. 
Clean, even tempered, humidified heat flow- 
ing through the furnace heated home pro- 
vides for the health and happiness of the 
family, at a minimum cost. 


Advantages of Warm Air 

Probably the most appealing advantage 
of warm air heating is the economy not only 
in operation, but in the original installation, 
altho from a standpoint of healthful heat, 


warm air has the edge on every other type 
of home heater because of the constant circulation of 
air kept in motion thru the gravity system. A furnace 
installation, complete, costs about one-half that of a hot 
water or steam job, and because of the ready response 
of a furnace to draft control, a greater saving in fuel 
can be accomplished. 


The Heart of the Furnace 
On the furnace firepot rests the responsibility of 
providing the greatest primary heating surface and a 
careful inspection of Gilt Edge firepot construction will 
convince the most skeptical that every possible method 
Ls its 4 f : has been utilized 
in designing the 
firepot to give 
maximum heating 
efficiency. Straight 
side, sturdy con- 
struction—extend- 
ed ribs—each fac- 
tor for proper effi- 
ciency has been 
amply provided 
for.

Efficient Design 


A furnace, must undergo changes 
in design from time to time to keep 
pace with modern theories of warm 
air heating. The Gilt Edge has been 
built in accordance with present day 
demands for efficiency and maxi- 
mum ease of operation. A _ large, 
double feed door—an easily acces- 
sible clean out flue—a high ash pit 
door, making the removal of ashes 
a pleasure—are features which will 
be readily appreciated by home- 
owners and home builders. 


Durable Construction 

The life of those castings in a furnace which have 
to stand the gaff of numerous quick changes in tem- 
perature, depends entirely on the quality of the iron 
which goes into them. In manufacturing Gilt Edge 
castings, the finest grade pig iron is used. Extreme 
care in making the numerous laboratory tests for 
strength and elasticity insures a uniformly high grade 
of cast iron.

Gilt Edge Furnaces are guaranteed not for five, ten 
or fifteen years, but for a 
lifetime of service. An un- 
unqualified guarantee from a 
concern on the threshold of its 
fiftieth year as manufacturers 
should impress the prospective 
installer of its worth based on 
the past performance of Gilt 
Edge Furnaces, and the ex-

THATCHER TUBULAR FURNACE 


Thatcher Tubular Furnace 


This type of furnace has a number of distinctive features 
which greatly increase its heating capacity, fuel economy 
and long life. The patented, straight side “Porcupine” 
Fire-Pot is a notable improvement in furnace design. A 
multitude of metal pegs, cast integral with the fire-pot, 
doubles the radiating surface and prolongs the life of the 
fire-pot. The self cleaning one-piece cast-iron radiator makes 
escape of gas impossible. The tubular construction results 
in rapid heating, fuel economy, and pure unscorched, 
healthful air. While the large feed door and slicer door, 
high ash pit and anti-clinker, ball-bearing grate make this 
an exceedingly easy furnace to operate.

THATCHER PIPELESS FURNACE 


For consistent Economy, Health, Comfort, Cleanliness, 
and Convenience the Thatcher Pipeless Furnace (illustrated 
below) is the LEADER in the heater line. It is economical 
of space, cost of installation and fuel—saves from 30% to 
40°% of the average coal bill. ‘The Thatcher Pipeless 
Furnace is founded on the scientific principle of air cir- 
culation. The warm air expands and rises through the 
center of the register—into the rooms—and, as it cools, 
is drawn down through the cold air channel, into the 
furnace, where it is reheated, purified and moistened by 
the vapor from the water pan and then recirculated through 
the warm air register. This insures a constant flow of 
evenly heated ‘‘washed” air in every room of the house— 


upstairs and down and provides ideal ventilation. 


Equipment furnished with heater—complete inner and 
outer galvanized casings. Extension pipes for eight-foot 
cellar and register with either oxidized copper or black 
japanned finish. Special THATCHER water pan and two 
outside casing clean-out doors. Extension pipes for cellars 
exceeding eight feet furnished when ordered, at a slight 
additional cost.

The “Thatcher Meteor” furnace with hot blast attach- 
ment is guaranteed to burn any grade of soft coal. such 
as slack, screening, or lignite from the fact that the ad- 
mission of air into and above the fuel at the point of 
combustion cokes this fuel and in a short time after the 
fire is replenished, a. clean fire like that of hard coal or 
coke can be had. The construction is such that it is 
exceedingly economical in the point of fuel consumption as 
all the particles of coal are thoroughly consumed.

Barns Smoke as Fuel! 


Smokeless even with cheap soft coal! Startling in its 
complete efficiency! Truly remarkable in its economy of 
fuel! That is the fact-story of the Utica SUPHR-SMOKE- 
LESS furnace—the furnace which burns smoke as fuel, and 
makes smoking chimneys and high, coal bills a thing of the 
past. 


The -principle of the SUPER-SMOKELESS Furnace is 
similar to that of the Bunsen Burner and Automobile Car- 
buretor. Both of these devices use a small quantity of fuel 
and a great quantity of air, mix them together, and pro- 
duce the most efficient combustion known. The same result 
is obtained in the SUPER-SMOKELESS Furnace. The 
SUPER-SMOKELESS Device, illustrated below, injects warm 
air into the furnace at the point where it strikes the rising 
smoke and gases. These are ignited and converted into a

secondary flame of great intensity. Not only is all smoke 
consumed within the furnace, but every heat unit in the 
fuel is utilized. This means a great saving of good coal 
and the good dollars which pay for it. 


Careful experiments and tests show that the Utica 
SUPER-SMOKELESS Furnace saves about thirty per cent 
of the fuel, by utilizing as fuel the smoke and soot ordi- 
narily wasted up the chimney in costly clouds. It furnishes 
an abundance of healthful heat that will make your home 
warm and comfortable in the coldest mid-winter weather. 
It entirely eliminates the dirt and grime of black, smoky 
chimneys and is practically self-cleaning. It burns hard 
coal, soft coal or coke equally well, having a fine clean ash 
with no clinkers. It means economy, convenience and com- 
plete heating satisfactory to every householder.

SUPER-SMOKELESS Furnaces are made in both pipe 
and pipeless models and combine all the fine features of the 
regular Type “A” Furnace. Other smokeless furnaces have 
been devised but only the SUPER-SMOKELESS has proven 
successful and permanently durable in practical operation.

Advantages of the H & C Line: 


The warm air heating system, when prop- 
erly installed, is superior to any other 
method of heating—lower in first cost and 
more efficient in operation. 


Proper installation among other things, 
calls for the free circulation of air both to 
and from the furnace. H & C Registers are 
designed to circulate air more freely than 
any others on the market. The fretwork 
obstruction has been reduced to a minimum 
and with no sacrifice of strength. 


The free air capacity (meaning the total 
area of holes in register faces) is printed in 
the following pages, and the proper size 
register can be selected for each size of pipe. 


Coupled with the marvelous efficiency of 
H & C Registers, is a construction that will 
not break during installation or use, finishes 
that will last, and designs that appeal to the 
demand for simple harmony. 


Standard Finishes: 


This Company is equipped to furnish any 
electroplated finish desired to match hard- 
ware. The following finishes are standard: 

Electroplated-light bronze, statuary 
bronze, polished brass, copper (not shaded), 
oxidized copper, dull brass (brushed), dead 
black, nickel. 

Black japanned, white japanned, white 
porcelain enamel, gold bronze paint, silver 
bronze paint, copper bronze paint.

H & C Floor Registers are correctly 
designed to provide a strong, unbreakable 
protection for openings through the floor 
to furnace pipe. 


The faces are reinforced by supporting 
bars of heavy gauge steel. 


The steel used in H & C Register bodies 
is also of heavy gauge to make them rigid 
and durable. The louvres or valves have 
solid trunnions securely riveted to each end, 
insuring free and easy operation. 


The*square hole design is furnished in all 
sizes up to and including 14-inch widths. 
Larger sizes have oblong holes.

For the removal of cold air from certain rooms, to 
improve the circulation, H & C Cold Air Faces No. 250 
and No. 255 as well as Cold Air Intakes No. 605, 
No. 607, No. 655 and No. 657, are of largest possible 
free air capacity and properly designed for this work. 


Cold Air Faces Class No. 250 


PM Pe pe erg ping a pete py UF ey

No. 250 


This Cold Air Face can be supplied in H & C Oak 
Finish designed to match all oak floors. 


The H & C No. 250 Cold Air Face has the same 
superior fretwork braced underneath with steel bars 


which in turn are supported by a heavy angle frame 
that is removable. The overlap of the face on the floor 
provides ample support and in this way eliminates the 
necessity of accurate fitting in the floor. Smaller 
faces than in the case of wood may be used with equal 
efficiency.

(Patent Applied For) 
No. 172%, 


This register, fitted with quick detachable face of 
vertical bar design, has extraordinary Free Air Capacity 
and permits the use of smaller sizes of registers than 
heretofore, with greater efficiency. The frame is 
pressed from a single piece of steel. The vertical bars, 
integral with margin of face, present rounded surfaces 
and are very strong and rigid. 


Construction is sufficiently rigid to withstand very 
hard use. Any standard finish used in builders’ hard- 
ware can be furnished. 


The valve is held in any desired position by means 
of a friction hinge and increased friction can be 
secured by a slight turn of tension screw which secures 
operating handle. Consult table for Air Capacities. 

(The last figure and fraction indicate projection from 
wall. For instance 172% indicates 24%" projection.)

‘“No-Streak,” ‘‘Out-O-Wall”’ and ‘‘Vol-Yum”’ Registers, 
R. I. Cold Air Faces 


Made by 
ROCK ISLAND REGISTER COMPANY 


Rock Island, Illinois 


Products: 

This company makes Wall Registers for 
Hot Air Furnaces, with patented con- 
struction features. One of the types— 
“No-Streak” prevents streaking of the 
wall. Also makes Cold Air Faces for in- 
stallation in baseboards. 


“‘No-Streak” Register: 


This is the only warm air register guaranteed to pre- 
vent streaking of the walls—a feature especially valu- 
able because it saves the house owner from $20 to $27 
annually on decorating expense. 


Construction: 

The register boxes are made of double galvanized 
iron with tin linings, making a dead air space for insu- 
lation, which adds to the durability of the register as 
well as increasing fire protection. 


Finishes : 

Rock Island registers are finished in the most modern 
and durable manner known to the electro-platers’ art to 
match all prevailing hardware finishes. 

Standard finishes are electro-plated Oxidized Copper, 
Brush Brass and Nickle. All special sanded finishes 
will be made to match hardware upon request. 

The enamel finishes are high-gloss, baked-in Black, 
and a durable, non-changing White. 

A very attractive and moderate priced finish is avail- 
able in our Lacquered Bronze paint finish to corre- 
spond in color to the standard electro-plated finishes. 


This Guarantee Tag is Attached to Every 
“NO-STREAK” Register: 

The “No-Streak” Guarantee is based on the patented 
interlapping joint of the register to the double metal 
register box which is an integral part of the complete 
register. 


Sectional View 
Showing Individ- 
ual Features of 
No-Streak Regis- 
ters. 


Individual Features: 


1—Expanding interlapping slip-joint connection which 
prevents the air from streaking the walls. 

2—Steel Frame and Removable Grille, having over- 
capacity Free Air opening. 

3—Malleable Lever easily operated by Hand or Foot. 
Absolutely trouble-proof. 

4—Galvanized, tin lined box having Floor line, Wall 
line and Recessed top collar. Note 2-inch trimming 
space around box. 


5—Easy fastening by two large oval head bolts. 


Efficiency: 


“No-Streak” registers are the most efficient register 
on the market because register grilles and register boxes 
have equal free area through the grille and through the 
boot opening in bottom of register box to equal area 
of round warm air pipe specified. (See list of pipe 
sizes and measurements at bottom of page).

“Out-O-Wall’”’ Register: 

The most satisfactory and efficient wall register for in- 
stallation in houses already built or those where the con- 
struction will not permit of the usual type of wall register. 


The register’and double wall box are a unit that is in- 
stalled by simply cutting the baseboard and a hole in the 
floor against the wall. ‘This installation saves approxi- 
mately 90% of the usual labor necessary to cut and install 
ordinary wall registers, and makes an attractive and efficient 
job. 

The measurements and openings for “Out-O-Wall” registers 
correspond with those of “No-Streak’ registers (see oppo- 
site page) making pipe fittings interchangeable. 


“Vol-Yum”’ Register: 


This is the last word in warm air register design for a 
moderate priced and attractive register for group construc- 
tion of bungalows and one or two story cottages. It has 
beauty of design and a pleasing appearance that is charm- 
ing and artistic in its decorative effect. 

The grille is particularly novel in the new treatment of 
the perpendicular bar by combining a margin in the lattice 
effect that is both practical and beautiful. One hundred 
percent capacity of free area is secured, insuring a more 
efficient heating plant. 

A comparison between “Vol-Yum” and other registers is 
invited because ‘‘Vol-Yum” registers are of such merit and 
value that they will save many dollars when specified in 
construction work.

Cobble Face Registers—Style No. 80. 


Cobble Face Register 


Cobble Face Registers are a new and exclusive product of 
our factory. 


The miniature cobbles prevent the foot from slipping and 
give an extra radiating surface which keeps the register from 
becoming overheated. 


As the wear comes only on the ‘‘tips’’ of the cobbles, any 
finish applied is untouched in the ‘‘valleys’’ so that a cobble 
face finish lasts indefinitely. 


The rolled edge makes a snug and even fit with the floor, 
without recessing. 


The design furnishes the largest free air openings, consist- 
ent with strength, safety and appearance. 


The finish, Tanbo Antique only, is distinctive and pleasing 
and matches the prevailing mode in Builders Hardware. Tanbo 
Antique harmonizes well with all color schemes, therefore the 
one finish is suitable for every room. 


The bottom is made of heavy gauge steel, with beveled sides 
to insure easy fitting, and the Patent Roller Movement opens 
and closes the valves positively but smoothly, and locks them 
automatically when closed. Made in all the used sizes. 


Cobble Cold Air Face Style C 


Matches cobble register in design and Tanbo finish. 


A Face which provides ample Air-Flow, Strength and Dura- 
bility with low cost. 


Style C Cobble is Cast Iron and its oblong mesh means No 
Obstruction to circulation. 


The finish will suit any surroundings. 


The Rolled Edge and Narrow Rim insure close fit with easy 
setting—the minimum of labor charge; and the Face can come 
close to the partition. 


No staining, varnishing or painting is necessary as Cobble 
Cold Air Faces are finished in Tanbo Antique to match the 
Cobble Registers.

DOYLE’S MINERAL WOOL 


Made by 


J. W. DOYLE COMPANY (Engineers, Contractors, Chemists) 
General Motors Building, Detroit, Mich. 


J. W. Doyle Company 


This company specializes in heat insulation. Through 
their authorized representatives in all parts of the 
country they contract to thoroughly insulate the heat- 
ing plant (boiler or furnace) and the water heating 
and hot water storage system, so that the heat losses 
will be reduced to a minimum, resulting in a great 
saving in fuel. 


Agents Wanted 


Doyle’s Mineral Wool, the material used for insulat- 
ing boilers, furnaces, water heaters, hot water tanks, 
etc., is not sold in bulk, but is furnished only through 
authorized representatives who apply it themselves, thus 
insuring a perfect job. Building contractors are in- 
vited to write to J. W. Doyle Company, General Motors 
Building, Detroit, Michigan, regarding terms to agents. 
This is a profitable side line and some desirable territory 
is still open. 


Heat Losses in Homes 


The amount of money wasted by the people of this 
country in fuel burned to no purpose is appalling. 


Twenty-five to fifty percent of the neat from the coal, 
gas, or oil consumed in uninsulated heating equipment 
is a dead loss, due to the fact that much of the heat 
generated is radiated from the surface of the boiler, 
furnace, or pipes, and never reaches the rooms it is 
desired to heat. 

Converted into terms of coal this means that from 
500 to 1000 pounds of each ton of coal purchased is 
a dead loss. Yet this tremendous waste can be pre- 
vented at comparatively small expense by the Doyle 
method of insulation. 


Pays for Itself 


The saving of fuel is so great in homes in which the 
heating equipment is insulated with Doyle’s Mineral 
Wool that the cost of insulation is quickly paid for by 
the saving effected in the amount of fuel used. So 
generally satisfactory has the Doyle method of insula- 
tion proven to be that no one has ever called on us to 
refund their money although every job is covered by our 
guarantee, one clause of which states that money will 
be refunded to any customer who is dissatisfied after 
one year’s experience with the Doyle Method of in- 
sulation.

O THE SMALL HOME and other buildings that 

have had to depend, in the past, upon old- 
fashioned heating methods, the Ideal Vecto Heater 
brings solid comfort, warmth and coziness without 
any expensive installation. 


It is a compact, self-contained, beautiful heating 
unit which warms, not one room, but a whole home, 
and yet consumes only as much coal, or less, than ‘is 


Scientifically Designed 


In principle and in construction, the Ideal 
Vecto Heater is altogether different from old- 
fashioned heating devices. It is a scientific § 
application of nature’s way of spreading | 
warmth. That is why it is so almost un- 
believably efficient as to warm an entire small 
home while consuming only the same amount 
of fuel, or less, than is ordinarily used to 
heat one room. 

In old-fashioned heaters 
the fire sends out its heat by 
radiation. Around the fire it 
is intensely hot; but near 
the walls and in the other 
rooms it may be cold and 
draughty. The heat is un- 
controlled. Coal is wasted, 
comfort sacrificed and health 
endangered. 


The operation of the Ideal # 
Vecto Heater is based on & 
the natural law of gravita- 
tion. Air is drawn in at the 
base, and brought into contact with a very 
extensive, scientifically designed heating sur- 
face; being warmed, it flows upward and out- 
ward, carrying its warmth to every corner of the home. The 
process is continuous. A gentle suffusion of even, comfort- 
able warmth fills every room. 


Warms the Whole House 


The Ideal Vecto Heater warms large volumes of air at 
moderate, controlled temperatures, preserving its healthful 
qualities. It circulates the warmed air through the home 
six to ten times an hour, thus ventilating as it warms. 


Easily and Quickly Installed 


To install the Vecto Heater requires no ripping up of 
flooring, no special piping whatever. It is a self-contained 
unit. The rear smokehood with damper control is provided 
as a regular part of the equipment, and needs only to be 
connected to a chimney. This is accomplished in a few 
minutes. The fire may then be lighted. It can be moved 
like furniture. No matter where you go, you can always 
be sure of having warmth and comfort in your home.

Other Buildings Us to 8,000 Cubic Feet Capacity

now used by old-fashioned methods to heat one room. 


Its warmth is clean and healthful. It requires no 
basement for installation; it is an ornament in any 
room. For more or less heat, you need but turn a 
handle. Compact and self-contained, it maybe 
moved like furniture. It burns either coal or wood, 
and will serve you faithfully and efficiently during 
your lifetime. 


How It Works 


The great secret of the Ideal Vecto Heater 
lies in its extraordinarily large and _ scien- 
tifically designed heating surface, the tem- 
|| perature of which is controlled by the simple 

|| turning of a handle conveniently placed in 
| the front of the Heater. 


The diagram shows how Jarge volumes of 
air are continuously warmed and circulated

| served. Ideal 
f= Vere .c, -th10 
i warmth is not 
| only more 
economical, 
but is far 
more com-

| healthful. 


A Handsome Piece of Furniture 


The Ideal Vecto Heater is as beautiful to 
look upon as it is efficient in operation. It 
brings the cheer of an open fire, for its fire-lights shine 
clearly through the window glow-panels in front. These 
glow-panels are made of a chemically prepared glass mix- 
ture that resists high fire temperatures. 
The cover of the Vecto Heater is sheet steel, finished with 
a highly lustrous gray enamel—as bright as the glow of 
china. This finish is vitreous enamel, baked on at a very 
high temperature, so that it will not be affected by heat. 
The beauty of the Ideal Vecto Heater is practically ever- 
lasting; and it harmonizes perfectly with any interior. 
This Ideal Vecto Heater does not take up much space. It 
is 22 inches wide, 21 inches deep and 48 inches high. 


Low in Price 


The Ideal Vecto Heater is not expensive. 
$99 f. o. b. Buffalo. 

This makes it an ideal heater for the inexpensive small 
home from three to five rooms, the small shop, office, private 
garage, oil filling station or other small building up to 8,000 
cubic feet of space. 

It comes all ready to be put into use for there is no in- 
stallation required except connection of the smokehood.

The Red Cross Furnola 


Drawing cold air 
from the floor level, 
warming it to a com- 
fortable temperature, 
then circulating it to 
every nook and 
corner of the house— 
the Red Cross Iurno- 
la circulates heat like 
a warm air furnace! 


In construction, 
this type of heating 
unit is similar to a 
pipeless furnace—it 
has a double casing; 
depends on circula- 
tion for its great 
heating power and is 
adaptable to practi- 
cally the same types 
of buildings. 

Located on the 
ground floor it elimi- 
nates the necessity of 
a cellar or basement, 


When to Install It 


The improved principles of construction; the method of 
circulating the heat instead of radiating and its low cost 
make the Red Cross Furnola an ideal heating system for 
old homes without a furnace, new homes without a base- 
ment, for offices, shops, stores, public buildings, rural 
schools, ete.

Design and Construction 


In appearance the Red Cross Furnola is at once strikingly 
attractive. Toned in a lasting finish of grained walnut in 
porcelain enamel, it looks like a piece of fine furniture, or 
finished in blue steel with sparkling nickel trim and black 
porcelain enameled top and doors it is a handsome heating 
unit. The cast iron construction of the Furnola is heavy 
and durable. All joints are deep cup, thoroughly cemented 
and bolted—it is dust-proof and gas-tight! See chart below 
for full specifications and weight. 


Heating Capacity—Fuel Economy 


The Red Cross Furnola will comfortably heat from five to 
seven rooms of a cottage type home or one ailowing for 
free circulation of air. It will do the work of approxi- 
mately three of the ordinary type of parlor stoves with the 
fuel of one. This fuel economy and unusual heating 
capacity is due to the method of circulation and the large 
radiating surface. 


Shipped Complete 


The Red Cross Furnola is shipped complete ready to 
install the minute it is received. It is mounted and assem- 
bled right in the crate and due to the extreme care used in 
packing and crating it seldom, if ever, arrives in a damaged 
condition. 


How It Circulates Heat 


The picture to the left shows the interior construction 
of the Furnola with its cast iron ash pit, fire pot and dome. 

White arrows indicate the passage of air circulating 
through the Furnola. When entering at bottom it is cold, 
then gradually be- 
coming warmed, it 
ascends and finally 
passes out through 
the top grating to 
circulate itself to 
every nook and 
corner of the home,

This is the Burnham Boiler you have

him exactly how to proportion heat absorb-

There are other boilers that seemingly 
are quite the same as a Burnham. 

But when it comes to cost of installing

IDEAL ARCO ROUND BOILER 


for homes and other buildings—burns all kinds of fuel 


OR HOMES and all other buildings within the limits of 
its rated capacities, the IDEAL ARCO Round Boiler may 
be offered with one of the greatest recommendations that 
any boiler can command—years of distinguished service. 
Today it is undoubtedly the most popular boiler of its kind 


in America. 


O THE DESIGN and construc- 

tion which have made the repu- 
tation of the Ideal Arco Round 
Boiler, there have been added sev- 
eral improvements. Outstanding 
among these is the increase in the 
boiler’s direct, fire-contact heating 
surface, fuel capacity and heategen- 
erating capacity.

Steam Boiler Ratings and Data 


The quick heating response and 
economy of operation are due in 
large measure to its exclusive Third 
Nipple construction. This construc- 
tion effects a continuous, rapid, un- 
impeded circulation of the water 
within the boiler—giving to it an 
exceptional ‘‘pick-up”’ capacity. In 
the case of the water boiler, hot 


water begins to rise out of the 
boiler and flow through the heating 
system almost immediately after 
the fire is lighted; while in the 
steam boiler, the quickest possible 
steam generation after firing is in- 
sured. 


Balancing the Third Nipple con- 
struction is the large, well designed 
fire pot, the carefully proportioned 
flue areas and gas travel. The 
entire design is calculated to 


give the best performance under 
chimney conditions as they are ac- 
tually found in practice, and at the 
same time maintain the greatest 
economy of fuel consumption.

Richardson Round Sectional Boilers 
for Steam, Vapor and Hot Water 

These boilers are particularly adapted for private resi- 
dences as they are simple and easy to operate, powerful and 
economical. They have large feed doors for firing and ample 
cleanout and ashpit doors and will carry sufficient fire over 
night so that the house is warm in morning. Water boilers 
have a special dome section for water heating and wall 
waterways through boiler are small producing a rapid cireu- 
lation of water over heating surfaces and absorbing the 
heat units as they are given off from the fire and heated 
gases. All heating surfaces are within boiler and surrounded 
by water passages, 


Construction 

Round boilers for 
steam and hot 
water are made up 
of several sections. 
The base section is 
fitted with ‘“Per- 
fect” revolving tri- 
angular grate bars 
which are durable 
and very effective 
in keeping the fire 
clear and free from 
elinkers. Ash pits 
have large doors, 
fitted with an air

draft door is operated from the automatic damper regulator of 
steam boilers, and with a ratchet on water boilers. 

The fire pot section is above the ash pit, is heavily corru- 
gated on the inside. Fire pot is deep so that fire can be run 
at low rate of combustion and only require attention at long 
intervals. These sections are fitted with two openings in the

RICHARDSON BOILERS FOR STEAM AND HOT WATER HEATING— (Continued) 


End Feed Square Sectional Boilers for 
Steam, Vapor and Water: 


These boilers are made in sizes to meet any steam, hot water 
or vapor heating requirement. Their principal features are 
the ease with which they are operated, their ability to carry 
their ratings for long periods, and economical operating 
expense. This means securing the proper proportion and 
arrangement of the heating surface to the grate area with 
large flues, admitting of a low rate of combustion. 

Richardson boilers present a large amount of correctly pro- 
portioned direct heating to the fire, yet with a long fire travel 
to hold back gases and prevent their too rapid escape to the 
smoke outlet. Equipped with deep fire pots and high com- 
bustion chambers. Ample provision has been made for easy 
firing and cleaning. Two large upper doors give access to 
flue surface for cleaning. Fire door is high and wide and 
through slicer door all parts of grate can be thoroughly cleaned. 
Ash pit is high and large permitting easy removal of ashes. All 
boilers have cored openings in back section for coil; and steam 
boilers are tapped on third section from front (right side) 
for indirect water heat. Steam boilers can be fitted with fusi- 
ble plugs. : 

Grate bars are extra heavy sectional shaking and dumping 
pattern, operated in sections from the front of the boiler and 
controlled by a lock plate permitting the bars to be shaken, 
dumped or locked in position, as desired. Grates can be fur- 
nished for burning either large or small size coal. 

Any connections between the sections are made with extra 
heavy cast iron machine cut tapered slip nipples fitted into 
tapered openings in the section and making the boiler abso- 
lutely tight.

Saves by Burning No. 1 Buckwheat 


Spencer Heaters are built to burn No. 1 Buckwheat 
Coal. Approximately one-seventh of the total produc- 
tion of Anthracite is No. 1 Buckwheat, the supply of 
which is greatly in excess of the demand for heating 
purposes, and as a consequence, the delivered price is 
from $4 to $7 per ton less than the larger sizes. When 
burned in a Spencer Heater, No. 1 Buckwheat has as 
much heat value as the so-called domestic sizes—and 
no more tons are required. Attention to the heater is 
necessary but once or twice a day, depending upon 
weather conditions.

Thatcher Boilers for Steam and Hot Water (Continued) 


Automatic Control 


Automatic and absolute control of the drafts is assured 
by a butterfly door in the ashpit and a sensitive diaphragm 
attached to the large damper in the smoke hood. Every 
point can be reached through the large cleanout door. All 
boilers are tapped so that hot water supply heaters can be 
easily attached. 


Note these Structural Features 


Thatcher Boiler Base with Revolving Triangular Grates 


The triangular revolving grates crush and dispose of 
clinkers. The ashpit is unusually high, giving lots of space 
for removing ashes, and lessening the possibility of burning 
out grates. 


Wheel Sections 


Staggered fire travel between and over every part of each 
section produces far more thermal heating units than any 
other design.

“Thatcher” Sectional Hot Water Boiler 


Thatcher Sectional Boilers for Steam and 
Hot Water Heating 


These sectional boilers are recommended where greater 
heating capacity is required than is afforded by boilers of 
the round type. 


The Thatcher Sectional Boiler is an end feed boiler of 
square cross sections with an unusual amount of prime 
heating surface. The smoke and gases are made to pass 
three times the length of the boiler (see illustration above) 
coming in contact with the heating surface at every point. 
Careful attention has been given to eliminating all pockets 
or corners where soot might collect and diminish the 
efficiency of the heating surface. 


Waterways and flues have been carefully proportioned 
to secure the best possible results. In short, nothing that 
7) years’ experience could suggest has been left undone to 
make these boilers as efficient and trouble-proof as it is 
possible for a heating device to be made, 


The ‘‘Progress”’ Boiler 


The “Progress” Sectional Steam Boiler (illustrated at left) 
is a distinctly individual type, possessing more points of 
merit than any other boiler on the market. 


The feed doors being pl.ced in the side of the boiler, 
make it very easy to fire and clean the grates, owing to 
the short depth of the fire chamber. 


The wonderful success of the ‘Progress’ is due to 
thorough combustion of fuel, and the perfect circulation of 
the water in each section, caused by the unique triangular 
construction of the sections coupled with the triple fire 
travel—advantages which are only found in the “Progress.” 


Twin Series—2 units installed as one and operated sep- 
arately in mild weather cutting cost of installation and fuel. 


Our booklet, “Thatcher Boilers’ will tell you more about 
the “Progress” Boiler and other steam and hot water boilers 
of our manufacture. May we mail you a copy?

Thrush System of Hot Water Heating 


Made By 


H. A. THRUSH & CO. 
PERU, INDIANA 


What Is It? 

Thrush System of Hot Water Heat- 
ing comprises added equipment to be 
placed on any hot water heating boiler 
to provide automatic control of dampers 
and to make the system a “closed 
system” under pressure. 

Thrush equipment consists of the 
Thrush Automatic Damper Regulator. 
The Thrush Differential Pressure 
Relief, the Air Tight Pressure Tank, 
the Thrush Bell Cranks, Thermostat 
and Gauge. Figure I shows installation. 


and 


A “Closed System’’ 

A closed or controlled hot water heating system 
operates under 
pressure and is 
sealed whereas the 
ordinary gravity 
hot water heating 
job has an expan- 
sion tank in the 
attic or up-stairs 
room and the only 
pressure on _ the 
system is_ the 
weight of the water 
from the highest 
radiator to the water level in the expansion tank. A 
closed system, on the other hand, operates under about 
ten pounds pressure and therefore circulation is speeded 
up, hotter radiators and increased heat radiation are 
assured. The pressure tank is placed in the basement 
close to the boiler where it cannot freeze and where 
overflow will not damage anything. 


THRUSH 


Fig. I 


Safe Control 


Thrush System is sealed against the air and no 
water can escape from the system when boiler is fired 
(and the water expands), except through the Thrush 
Differential Pressure Relief Valve. This valve does 
not operate until the pressure reaches the point at 
which it is set to operate. A safety factor of ten to 
one eliminates all possibility of broken boilers and 
keeps the water in the system harnessed and under 
positive control. See figure II. 


Providing Auto- 
matic Regulation 
increased 
heating efficiency 
for any hot-water 


heating plant—old 


or new. 


Automatic 
Regulation 
of Dampers 

The Thrush Regulator (see figure 
III) keeps fires under control at all 
times, thereby securing greatest fuel 
economy, uniform room temperatures 


and the maximum of personal comfort 
in the home or building. For maintain- 
ing different water temperatures only 
a Simple adjustment of the weights on 
the lever is necessary. There are no 
electrical connections to get out of 
order, no winding of motor or clock. The 
Thrush method of piping makes it pos- 
sible to place this Regulator in any posi- 
tion giving the maximum of lever efficiency 
for operating the dampers. 


Comfortably Heated 
Homes Easier to Sell! 


The building contractor and home 
builder who installs a Thrush System of 
Hot Water Heating will find increased 
value immediate. Home owners are look- 
ing for efficient heating and they want to 
get away from constant attention to ‘Thrush Differential 
boilers. Thrush System provides that Pressure Relief 
fuel economy, assurance of comfortable 
temperatures, and freedom from constant attention which 
they most desire. This appeals to both women and men— 
the Thrush equipt home is easy to sell because of this big 
feature, 

Thrush System is not 
expensive. Owing to re- 
duced sizes of piping re- 
quired a Thrush Regu- 
lated plant containing 
750 or more square feet 
of radiation can be 
furnished at the same 
cost aS an ordinary un- 
regulated gravity job.

SLIGHT additional expense in the initial cost of build- 

ing a home often results in economy in maintenance. 

A well appointed home, built at a given cost always 
has a higher investment value than an ill-planned house 
built at an equal cost. 


Heat Regulation in the Home 


A very important part of a well planned home is the 
heating plant. The question of heating is often given little 
thought, yet it is entitled to the most consideration. Neither 
a warm air furnace or a hot water or steam boiler will 
be entirely satisfactory unless it can be properly regulated 
to distribute an even, healthful heat. Proper heat insures 
fuel economy, economy in repairs and upkeep, uniform 
temperature, comfort, convenience, health and safety. 


One Product For Over 40 Years 


Minneapolis Heat Regulators are the original automatic 
controlling devices. They have been manufactured and in 
use for over 40 years and may be applied to correctly 
regulate all types of heating plants, new or old, using coal, 
coke, oil, gas, electricity, or combinations of these, as fuel. 
They may be installed on steam, vacuum, or vapor heating 
systems, on hot water boilers or warm air furnaces. 

Concentration on the science of heat regulation has 
resulted in the accumulation of valuable data as well as 
in the constant improvement of “Minneapolis” regulators 
and service. The Company’s acquired knowledge of heat 
regulation is freely at the disposal of contractors and 
builders. 


Operation 


The Minneapolis Heat Regulator consists of an attractively 
designed thermostat placed conveniently on the wall of 
the living room and connected by a small concealed electric 
cable to a motor in the basement,—and a furnace or boiler 
controlling device mounted on the heating plant. The 
Motor, actuated by the room thermostat or the boiler control 
device, performs the work of operating drafts, dampers, or 
steam, oil or gas valves, of the heating plant. 

Wxperience and research have proved that perfect regula- 
tion of hot water, steam or vapor boilers, or warm air 
furnaces requires more than automatic control by the room 
thermostat, which is actuated only by atmospheric tem- 
perature. Often the forcing of a fire to bring room tem- 
perature to a given point causes excessive heating of the 
boiler or furnace, due to the fact that water temperature 
or steam pressure in the boiler, or heat generated in the 
furnace, accumulates faster than radiators or registers can 
transmit it to warm the rooms. The problem of eliminating 
these periods of fuel waste and possible danger is solved 
by the use of the limiting boiler or furnace control device 
in connection with a “Minneapolis” room thermostat and 
the motor. 


‘‘Minneapolis’”’ Room Thermostats 


“Minneapolis” Room Thermostats are of three different 
types: first, without clock attachment; second, with one 
day clock; third, with eight day clock attachment. These 
various thermostats are illustrated and described below. 

With thermostat control, the house will never be over- 
heated or underheated. The thermostat never tires, never 
sleeps, never forgets, never loafs on the job, works 24 hours 
a day, starts up the fire on zero mornings—all this with 
never a care on the part of the home owner. The heat 
regulator is a valuable little servant, strictly attentive to 
business, always watchful over the comfort of the house. 


When the affairs of the day claim attention or during the 
sleeping hours, this attendant upon your convenience is 
always present and alert—a constant conserver of time 
during the day by eliminating the drudgery of operating 
heating plant drafts and dampers, and a zealous guardian 
of comfort by night. Whether it is a March blizzard or 
autumn frost, a spring thaw or an Arctic record-breaker 
on the outside, the thermostat sees to it that nothing 
harsher than a day in June breaks in upon the family circle. 


Model 40 Thermostat 


All “Minneapolis” thermostats are of the same basic con- 
struction. No matter which model of thermostat is used, 
it is certain to be accurate and all “Minneapolis” thermostat 
models work on the same unfailing, natural principle. The 
design of the thermostat is a marvel of simplicity and 
ingenuity. 


Model 40 room thermostat is built with the same care 
and precision as the clock type instruments illustrated below 
and is designed for operation where the clock is not neces- 
sary or desired, as in school-houses, factories, churches, 
ete., where a certain degree of heat is to be maintained at 
all times. 


Model 47 One Day Thermostat 


This themostat is furnished with a one- 
day clock, which, when wound at night, and 
the thermostat indicator lowered to the night 
temperature desired, will automatically raise 
the temperature to day time level at any 
given morning hour, by means of the alarm 
mechanism of the clock. This assures a 
cool dwelling during sleeping hours and 
warm rooms to dress in. This thermostat 
as well as the Model 40 previously described, 
is finished in sand-blast bronze, which blends 
nicely with almost any color scheme of room 
decoration. 


Model 77 Eight Day Thermostat With 
Seven Jeweled Clock 


This thermostat marks the latest development in automatic 
temperature controlling devices. This is the most auto- 
matic of the “Minneapolis” thermostats and has an 8-day 
clock attachment manufactured by the Min- 
neapolis Heat Regulator Company. The clock 
used with this thermostat is equal, if not su- 
perior to any clock of its type manufactured 
‘here or abroad. The movement is jeweled, 
with seven rubies and sapphires, with genuine 
~bi-metallic expansion balance. Every clock 
part is extra heavy, insuring rigidity to the 
movement and a durable time-piece with ex- 
cellent time keeping qualities. 


This high-grade clock—an integral part of 
the thermostat, will automatically lower 
house temperature to any desired night time 
level at the retiring hour, and again auto- 
matically raise the temperature at any speci- 
fied hour in the morning, to the normal day 
degree. This automatic action is repeated 
daily, morning and night, for eight days with one winding. 
In keeping with the surrounding of the finest homes, tne 
Model 77 thermostat is finished in a dull brushed silver.

“Minneapolis”? Motors 

The three types of motors illustrated and described in 
the following paragraphs are all made with the utmost care 
and precision. Non-corroding brass gears are used and strong 
dust-proof outer casings fully protect each motor and keep 
it in exact alignment. 


Electric Motor 

This new motor is furnished for use with either alter- 
nating or direct current and is built on basic principles 
that have proven their re- 
liability in previous mecdels 
thru years of actual use and 
experience. The A. C. Motor 
is complete in one unit, in- 
eluding transformer, connects 
direct to the house lighting 
circuit and never requires 
winding. It is completely en- 
closed in a die-cast aluminum 
housing with sleeving at shaft 
openings to exclude dust and 
moisture. The lifting ability 
of this motor far exceeds any demands which drafts or 
valves would put upon it. The electric motor has been 
tested and approved by the National Board of Fire Under- 
writers and is particularly recommended for use with gas 
or oil fired heating systems, or with central station heating. 


Spring Type Motor 

The power for this motor 
is furnished by a heavy spring, 
which gives the motor ample 
power to handle the heaviest 
drafts or valves. One winding 
of the motor every week or 
ten days is all that is neces- 
sary, and the wind indicator 
shows when re-winding is 
necessary. This motor is pro- 
vided with an _ automatic 
safety switch, so that if the 
motor is allowed to run down 
the heating plant will always 
be shut off on the motor’s last operation. This feature is 
of extreme importance as it practically eliminates fire 
hazard. 


Gravity Motor 

This type motor is designed for 
attachment to the basement ceiling 
and motive power is furnished by 
an iron weight sufficiently heavy to 
operate dampers and drafts of the 
average heating plant. The principle 
of operation is similar to that of 
the old-fashioned grandfather’s clock 
and motor is wound by pulling up 
the weight once each day. This 
Bl motor also has the ‘Minneapolis’ 
L ie safety switch feature. 


Economy and Safety 

The Minneapolis Heat Regulator saves, on the average, 
from 1/5 to 1/38 on fuel costs—on any type of fuel. Elimi- 
nating the added comfort, convenience, and even, healthful 
temperature which results, economy alone justifies the 
installation of a Minneapolis Heat Regulator. However, the 
presence or absence of comfort and convenience makes the 
difference between a home and a house. 

Th regulator will not only pay for itself in fuel saving, 
but when paid for, will continue to produce dividends in fuel 
saving for many years. 

The safety feature of this installation should also be con- 
sidered. There is no need to worry about drafts or dampers 
whenaway from home. The furnace or boiler cannot become 
overheated,—the room will always be temperate—never 
torrid or frigid, and there’s no danger of drafts being kept 
opened or closed until the fire’s out. The installation of 
a Minneapolis Heat Regulator insures effective, dependable 
and proper temperature control.

Installation Diagram 


This diagram illustrates a typical ‘“Minneapolis” installa- 
tion, showing the convenient means of controlling the 
heating system, both by room temperature, and boiler 
pressure or temperature or furnace temperature. In this 
case the double check on a steam boiler is shown. The 
thermostat controls room temperature. The clock auto- 
matically lowers temperature at night and raises it in the 
morning. The motor, actuated by the thermostat operates 
heating plant drafts and dampers and the pressurestat 
limits the amount of heat to be generated. 


Boiler Control Devices 


These devices, the hydrostat for control of hot water 
boilers or warm air furnaces, and the pressurestat for 
controlling steam, vapor or vacuum systems, are used in 
connection with the room thermostat and motor to effect 
a double check on the heating plant, and may also be used 
alone to keep hot water supply systems, boilers or furnaces 
at a constant temperature, 


Model 65 Hydrostat 


The hydrostat principle of operation is the same as that 
of the room thermostat. These instruments operate in 
accordance with a simple, natural, law and have no in- 
tricate mechanism that is easily put out of adjustment. 
The Model 65 Hydrostat when used on hot water heating 
systems, is mounted on the boiler. It may also be used 
in control of warm air heating plants and in such case is 
mounted on one of the main ducts near the furnace casing. 
In either case, the hydrostat will co-ordinate perfectly with 
the room thermostat in causing the motor to operate drafts, 
dampers or valves. 


Model 70 Pressurestat 


The pressurestat gives perfect control at all times when 
used in dual control with the room thermostat, because 
through a patented arrangement of contacts and wiring on 
the pressurestat, the room thermostat is at all times in 
control to limit the amount of heat. The pressurestat is 
used only on steam, vapor or vacuum heating systems, and 
is a very reliable, sturdy instrument.

Need for Home Ventilation 


Ventilation for the home kitchen has been very much 
neglected in the past, and the interest which is now being 
shown is due to the success of the ‘Buffalo Breezo” for 
home ventilation. 


When you place a “Breezo”’ in a kitchen window you are 
installing “health insurance.” This quiet little fan takes 
kitchen odors,—grease, smoke and “headachy”’ fumes out of 
the kitchen, and draws the stale air out of the entire house. 

Think what this means to the one who does the cooking! 
Imagine a house always free from annoying and embarrass- 
ing odors! 

When cool air is wanted in the kitchen, a pull at the 
cord attached to the Breezo switch reverses the fan and 
draws the tresh out-door air into the house. 


This shows the fan, switch and adjustable panel. Fan can 
also be furnished without panel and without switch for wall 
installation. 


Simple to Install—Costs Little to Operate 


When the fan is equipped with the pull switch, the switch 
is always attached to the fan completely wired up ready 
for use. If the adjustable 
panel is furnished, it will 
be found in a separate 
crate, equipped with 
necessary bolts for at- 
taching same to the fan 
and ring. The adjustable 
end pieces for the panel 
are enclosed in the box 
with) the = fan? proper. 
These should be put into 
the grooves on the panel 
and after adjusted to the 
proper length to corre- 
spond to the width of the 
window should be clamped 
down by tightening up 
the four brass screws in 
the panel. With each 
panel is furnished two 
brass. templates. One 
should be placed on each 
side of the window on the 
strip as high up as they 
will go, and the four 
special screws should be 
used for holding the tem- 
plate in place. The screws 
are usually located back 
about 2 to 2%” from the 
-window sash and when 
the screws are driven 
home they are exactly the 
right distance apart to 
allow the panel and fan 
to be slipped in position 
through the notched slot 
in the panel. The panel 
should be set in the ; , 
notches which will just permit the upper window to be 
raised and lowered without striking the fan. 

Two lengths of chain with eyelets are furnished. If the 
upper window consists of one large pane of glass, these 
chains should be used to enable the window to be readily 
raised and lowered. The two eyelets which are attached 
to the chain should be screwed in to the window sash as 
near the glass as possible, and about 3” from the top. The 
other two eyelets should be screwed in 16” lower down. 
The chain should then be slipped through the two lower 


eyelets and the eyelets closed. This permits you to readily 
raise and lower the window. If, however, the window has 
two or more panes, the chains are not required, as the cross 
strips readily permit raising and lowering of the window. 


Well Made 


The BREEZO fan has 20% MORE! CAPACITY than other 
fans of the same size and power consumption. The im- 
proved, modern multiblade wheel delivers the air directly 
forward and away from the side of the house. 


Light, strong all-steel construction; large bronzebushed 
bearings; a motor large enough not to require artificial 
ventilation, totaliy enclosed and lubricated by large bear- 
ings which require re-oiling only once every 1,000 hours; 
this fan is truly the greatest VALUE obtainable! 

The adjustable steel panel fits the kitchen windows 
snugly. Fan may be left in place permanently or taken 
down if desired in a jiffy. Whether in place or not, the 
fan does not interfere with opening and closing of the 
window.

Specifications and Prices 


Tho panel dimensions which are shown above are known as the short and the 
long panel. The snort panel is adjustable for all windows from 26” to 36” in 
width measuring from one window strip to the other, and the long panel is suit- 
able for any window measuring 36” to 46” between the strips. In addition to 
the two standard panels we also make one known as the special, which is used 
for any window between 22” and 26” in width. Price of all panels is the 
same, Be sure to specify which is desired, In addition always state the 
characteristics of the electric current available. The motors are carried in stock 
for 110 volts direct current, 60 cycle, and 25 cyele single phase alternating cur- 
rent. The following are the list prices of the 12” BUFFALO “‘BREEZO’”’ with 
and without panels and reversing switches.

The standard 12” BUFFALO ‘‘BREEZO” for home ventilation is equipped with 
a 750 R.P.M. motor, which is reversible, and it is very quiet in operation. If 
the fan is to be installed in some place other than the home, where a slight 
humming noise is not objectionakle. a higher speed motor, running at about 1150 
R.P.M., can be furnished at the same price. The motor is built on the same 
frame, but it is not reversible. It can, however, be furnished with the adjustable 
panel and with a start and stop switch, the only difference is that the higher 
speed motor does not have the reversible feature.

RADIATOR HANGER 
== 


Product 

E-Z ONE BOLT RADIATOR HANGER OR BRACKET, both 
styles adapted for hanging all makes and sizes of radiators, in- 
cluding Corto and Aero, on any wall. 


Advantages 


The wall is the logical place for radiation. When a radiator 
is hung on the wall it offers no obstruction when cleaning floors, 
carpets or rugs. No heated legs to soften floor varnish or warp 
the flooring. Appearance, convenience, floor cleaning, ease and 
economy and decreased installation cost all result from the use of 
-Z Radiator Hangers. 


These hangers are adapted to ANY type of construction, whether 
concrete, brick, hollow tile, gypsum block or frame wall. 


Each hanger requires but one anchor bolt which may be set 
during construction. 


No accurate measurements needed, since hangers can be ad- 
justed both vertically and horizontally. Radiators can be hung, 
all connections made, system tested and bronzed before floors are 
laid, thus effecting considerable saving in installation cost, and 
preventing any possible marring of floors. 


E-Z Radiator Hangers 
are designed for all wall 
and column radiation and 
are self-adjusting to ex- 
pansion. Temperature 
control valves can be 
used. Entire hanger in- 
visible, including upper 
The Easy Way support washer. 


Styles 


Style “H” places Radiator 214” from wall and provides for base- 
board adjustment. 


Style “R” places Radiator 114” from wall, but is not adjustable for 
baseboard. Style “H” is the most desirable for residential work.

CLARK GAS PRODUCER 


Made By 


AMERICAN HEATING & LIGHTING CO. 
MORENCI, MICHIGAN 


ILLUSTRATION SHOWS PRODUCER PLANT AND ITS APPLICATIONS 


Products 


This company manufactures the Clark Gas Producer—a 
complete plant for furnishing the gas supply for cooking 
and room heating purposes (when the regular heating plant 
is not being used) in suburban and other homes where no 
city gas supply is available. Also make the Clark High 
Speed Water Heater described on page 416. 


Advantages 


A Clark installation provides the home with an abundant 
supply of the finest gas that can be produced for furnishing 
fuel to the gas range, hot water heater, laundry stove, 
Pilot-lite for oil burning furnace, laundry mangle and 
Humphrey Radiant-fire for room heating in spring and fall. 
It is the only Gas Producer guaranteed to operate the 
Humphrey Radiant-fire. 


Safe, Clean, Rapid, Economical 


The Clark Gas Producer is buried in the ground outside 
of building. Filler pipes leading to the surface offer a con- 
venient method of furnishing the gasoline supply as needed. 

Quick evaporation off gasoline from this submerged 
storage tank or carburetor furnishes an adequate supply of 
gas under all conditions. 

There are no explosion chambers and no high pressure 
air feed. Automatic mixers so often featured in gas in- 
stallations and which often do not operate properly, are 
not used in Clark Gas Producers. Clark Gas is developed 
in a more efficient and more natural way. There are no 
objectionable generating noises. Superheating of gasoline 
—a common practice in producing gas, and one that causes 
carbon to accumulate—is not used in the Clark process. 

The Clark Gas Producer is purely automatic, no valves 


of any kind on it. Oil it once every ten years. Light it 
and use it just as you would city gas. It is so safe a child 
ean handle it without the slightest danger of any kind. 


Two Types of Air Blowers Used 


Where electricity is not available, a wright device is used 
to operate the air blower in place of the electric air blower. 
In other respects both installations are identical and equally 
efficient. 


Construction 

Clark Gas Producers are built to last a lifetime. 

The combination carburetor and storage tank, buried in 
the ground outside is made of heavy Armco Galvanized 
Iron—with a world-wide reputation for its rust-resisting 
and lasting qualities—regular boiler construction—closely 
riveted and securely soldered inside and out. Outside cast- 
ings are made of solid brass. 

Every carburetor is thoroughly inspected and air tested. 
Then treated with three coats of special mineral paint to 
resist rust. 


A Permanent Investment 


A Clark Gas Producer means no great expense for install- 
ing and over a period of years satisfactory service will 
prove a great economy. There is nothing exposed to the 
weather and nothing to wear out. 

Many carburetors buried in the ground thirty years ago 
are giving satisfactory service today, proving conclusively 
the durability of Clark construction and materials.

GAS SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT 


Recommended by 


ARCHITECTS’ AND BUILDERS’ SERVICE COMMITTEE 
AMERICAN GAS ASSOCIATION 
342 Madison Avenue 


The Service of Gas 


Gas is the cleanest, most reliable and most con- 
venient household fuel for cooking, water heating 
and room heating as well as for other domestic 
uses. In nearly every case it is also the most eco- 
nomical fuel for these purposes. Among its chief 
advantages over other fuels are: freedom from smoke 
and soot, constant supply ready for any demand, 
simple control and ease of heat regulation, efficiency 
per dollar cost, and no investment in fuel required 
previous to use. 


Economy in Gas Service 


Gas should never be wasted, but neither should 
the cost of gas for domestic use be reckoned 
solely by the monthly bill. Real economy in home 
planning and budgetting for household-management 
should be reckoned along the lines of the needs and 
requirements of the household, both present ‘and 
future. Check off the items chargeable to other 
fuels, and credit to gas service,—the satisfaction 
of a constant supply of fuel that requires no money 
in advance, no storage space, no labor, no dirt 
dust or ashes. A service that carries the assurance 
of entire freedom from costly annoyance. In short, 
efficiency, which is after all, only another word for 
economy. In figuring building costs, do not lmit 
on necessary gas piping, flues and appliances. The 
time is not far distant when gas will be the universal 
fuel for all household heating processes. 


Original Installation 


In designing and building a home, builders (in an effort 
to keep down the initial cost) often provide the very 
minimum gas service and appliances—sometimes only a 
range, seldom more than a range and water heater. Even 
in selecting the types of ranges and heaters, the low price 
factor has been used as a guide. This effort to maintain 
a low initial cost of construction is a penny-wide-pound- 
foolish policy as it penalizes the housekeeper by depriving 
her of economical and labor saving gas appliances which 
she needs and desires or else makes their later installation 
cost more than necessary. On the other hand, the installation 
of a modern cabinet range, good water heater, space heaters 
and other efficient devices adds greatly to the value—and 
salability—of the house. 


Providing Adequate Piping and Flues 


Each year sees an increase in gas consumption per home, 
and that this rate of increase is growing faster every year, 
is definite evidence that gas will eventually replace other 
fuels in the home, and undoubtedly this will include house 
heating as well as cooking, water heating and other more 
usual domestic uses of gas. 

As home builders and homekeepers come more and more 
to depend on gas service they will require more and better 
gas appliances. The wise builder will therefore look to 
the future by providing in advance for the service and appli- 
ances which even in a few short years will be introduced 
into the homes. The two essential items under this head 
are proper piping and adequate ventilation. With these 
suitably provided, it will not require ripping up walls or floors 


Cost of Piping 


The cost of piping installed at time of erection is relatively 
small, compared with the total cost of the building and the 
increased value of the premises so equipped. This cost varies 
in different localities, but is approximately 1 per cent of the 
total cost of the building; this figure covers the most elaborate 
piping layout required to cover every normal situation. If, 
however, the demands of the tenant or purchaser require pipe 
installation after the building is completed the cost will be 
greatly increased. In addition, the installation is liable to be 
unsightly, and the necessary work a source of annoyance to 
the occupant of the building. 


Preventing Service Troubles 


Builders should be sure the piping not only complies with 
local building requirements but is of adequate size to ensure 
an ample supply of gas for all purposes. 

Gas Company records indicate that many consumers experi- 
ence service trouble due solely to piping which is too small or 
which has been improperly installed. The following general 
principles and practices are offered by the American Gas 
Association as a help to architects, contractors, plumbers and 
home builders so that by cooperation in the interests of better 
gas service, house owners may get the utmost value, comfort 
and convenience from this part of their home equipment. 


General Principles 


As local conditions govern, to a great extent, the practice 
and installation of gas piping, it is requested, that before 
you let your contract for this important part of your building, 
your local Gas Company be consulted. 

1. The piping shall be constructed so as to be durable, 
substantial and gas tight, and shall be of ample size for 
the purposes intended. 

2. Piping shall be installed with the best materials and 
workmanship. 

3. Pipe and fittings shall be carefully examined before 
using, and defective pieces rejected. 

4, Piping should not be laid under tile, parquet, or 
mosaic floors, where it is at all possible to avoid it. 

5. Piping should not be run to bottom of beams that are 
to be covered with lath and plaster, but should be run 
along top of beams or joist where it is possible, so that it 
will be accessible by raising the floor boards, which, when 
covering such piping, should be fastened with brass screws. 

6. Gas burning appliances shall be adequately supported 
and installed in accordance with the rules and regulations of 
the local gas company. 

7. Automatically controlled large volume appliances with 
pilot ignition should be flue connected. 

8. No device or attachment shall be installed on any 
apphance that will in any way impair the combustions of 
the gas. 

9. All gas appliances shall, wherever practical, be con- 
nected solid with iron connections. Plain rubber hose shall 
in no case, be permitted. Flexible hose, properly designed 
and approved by the proper authorities may, in certain 
cases, be permitted; but where so used, a stop cock should 
be placed near the supply pipe. Such hose conform to 
A. G. A. Specifications. 

10. Water Heaters should not be installed in bathrooms 
without flue connections.

CONSIDER ALL OF THESE GAS APPLIANCES when planning a home and provide convenient connections 

for them in your gas piping so that those not installed when the house is built can be installed later on, if 
desired, without altering the original piping. A little foresight when the house is being bwilt will save many dollars 
of expense later on.

BARBER Patented GAS BURNERS 


For Residential Heating in Natural Gas Districts 
Manufactured by 


The GLEVELAND GAS BURNER @APPLIANGE GO, 


Burner Specialists 


3102-04 Superior Avenue, 


Cleveland, Ohio 


Product 

Barber Patented Gas Burn- 
ers of the types listed on 
this page, are made in a va- 
riety of styles and capacities 
principally for residential 
heating, in furnaces, steam 
and hot water boilers, in 
Natural gas districts. Our 
Jet Burners shown on the 
next page are used in Arti- 
ficial and Mixed gas districts, 
also in smaller appliances 
upon Natural gas. 
Design and Principle 

Barber Patented Gas Burners are designed and 
constructed by Gas Burner Specialists, on scientific 
principles, there being no mechanical air-mixer to 
retard the flow of gas, or to cause back-firimg under 
low or fluctuating gas pressure. 

The air and gas are mixed by confluence, after the 
gas has left the burner orifices, creating a vacuum 
which draws into the flame, the necessary amount of 


air to cause a perfect mixture The necessary volume 
of air, being in proper proportion to the gas pres- 
sure, and passing within the body of the flame, be- 
comes superheated, thereby causing perfect combus- 
tion in a blast flame from eight to ten inches high, 
according to the gas pressure. 


Efficiency and Economy 

Barber Burners develop 25 to 40 per cent more 
heat upon varying gas pres- 
sures than is developed by 
mixer type burners, and will 
develop efficiently and _ eco- 
nomically the required heat 
on one ounce of gas pressure. 


They will burn on atmospheric pressure—will not 
back-fire or deposit carbon—will operate with any 
good thermostat—and can be quickly removed or re- 
placed, as desired. 

Their unit form of construction provides wide 
flexibility of gas control, permitting the use of only 
such units as are actually required in mild weather, 
or the use of all units in cold weather.

A Stream of Hot Water 


in every pipe in the house 


shortly after lighting 


Product 


Clark’s High Speed Water Heater is a highly perfected 
product embodying unusual construction features not 
found in ordinary heaters but which have proven their 
value during manv years of actual service. 

The Clark Gas Producer is illustrated and described on

discs, connected by wrought iron nipples, provide extra 


a 


large heating surfaces and withstand heat better than any 
other material. 

The water travels through the discs rapidly and no heat 
is wasted.

from the best materials and are built to give constant and 
efficient service. They will outwear several ordinary heaters. 

They can be used in conjunction with the Clark Gas Pro- 
ducers (described on page 409) or can be connected to the 
city gas supply and will give exceptional service under 
either condition.

Premier, Keystone and Marvel Storage Gas Water Heaters 
illustrated and described on this page. 


Premier Insulated Automatic 
Storage Gas Water Heater: 


The Premier is an insulated 

storage water heater which pro- 
vides a constant supply of piping 
hot water at minimum cost. Its 
operation is entirely automatic. 
It is built to give positive satis- 
faction and enduring service. 
The Premier has a heating ele- 
ment of scientific design, without 
coils and is practically lim e- 
proof. It is silent, odorless and 
safe. 
Operation—The Premier is auto- 
matic in action. It is a self-con- 
tained unit: heater and storage 
:ank are within the same insulated 
jacket. Itruns itself. A thermo- 
static device controls the lighting 
and extinguishing of the big blue- 
flame burner. A tankful of water 
is held at any desired tempera- 
ture between 80° and 190° F. 


When the Premier is first 
lighted, the tank-full of water is 
quickly heated to the tempera- 
ture for which the theomostat is 
set. The instant this tempera- 
ture is reached, the thermostat 
shuts off the gas supply to the 
main burner—and an abundance 
of instant hot water is always 
ready at the turn of a faucet. 
When the withdrawal of hot wa- 
Automatic Insulated ter lowers the temperature in 
Storage Gas Water the tank only 14° to 18° the 

Heater thermostat instantly starts the 
burner heating more. 


PREMIER 


The Heating Element—The cold water enters the heating ele- 
ment through the large opening at the top. Then it passes 
down through the channels, or arms, to the lower compart- 
ment, where it is spread in a thin flowing sheet. As the 
hottest part of the burner flame plays on this portion of the 
“spreader,” the water absorbs the heat from the gas without 
waste. Immediately upon being heated, it rises through the 
central pipe, and is discharged at the top of the tank. 


The water thus heated is replaced by cold water from 
the bottom of the tank, creating a constant and rapid cir- 
culation and heating the entire tank quickly and efficiently. 
In addition to its great efficiency, the spreader cannot burn 
out. Having no flat surfaces, pockets or dead ends, ‘‘lime- 
up” troubles are also practically eliminated. 


Burner—The Premier Bunsen burner is made in one piece and 
is designed to give a blue flame of maximum efficiency. No 
gauze is used and trouble from back firing is eliminated. 
The burner is fitted with a specially designed mixer, assur- 
ing a correct proportion of gas and air. It has a special 
gas cock designed to give a high nozzle velocity on low 
gas pressure. It operates with either natural or artificial 
gas. 


Insulation—Premier economy is further increased by the fact 
that when water is once heated it stays hot for many hours. 
The heavily insulated storage tank allows only a slight 
radiation loss. A thick jacket of asbestos completely sur- 
rounds the storage tank and heating chamber. With its 
protective outer sheath of steel, this insulation conserves 
heat like a giant ‘‘Thermos” bottle. 


Storage Tank—The Premier tank is constructed of double 
extra-heavy sheets, heavily galvanized both inside and out. 
Or the tank may be of double-weight copper, if desired. Hot 
and cold water connections and fittings are of brass. 


Finish—The steel jacket which covers and protects the insula- 
tion is finished in smart Premier gray enamel. The top, 
base, door and fittings are first copper-plated and then 
heavily nickeled. 


Sizes—The Premier is built in three sizes for domestic and 
business use. 


Size No. 2—For homes with one bath, kitchen sink, usual 
number of lavatories and laundry trays. $125. 


Size No. 3—For homes with two baths, kitchen sink, usual 
number of lavatories and laundry trays. $160. 


Size No. 4—For homes and apartments with three or four 
baths, larger barber shops, restaurants, clubs, etc. Double 
burner equipment—double quick heating. $250. 

All prices F. O. B. at factory. On display and ready for’ 
delivery at all Crane Exhibit Rooms. 


The Keystone Automatic 
Storage Gas Water Heater: 


The Keystone is very much like 
the Premier in appearance and 
construction. The tank is extra 
heavy, inclosed in a thick asbestos 
insulating jacket, with outer 
sheath of steel. All circulating 
pipes and fittings are galvanized. 


The Keystone is a durable and 
handsome gas water heater at a 
moderate price. It has the same 
sturdy thermostat, burner and 
heating element of the Premier 
and the operating cost is only a 
few cents a day. 


The Keystone is made in two 
sizes: No. 2-20 at factory, $70; 
and No. 3-35 at factory, $97.50. 
Specifications and recommenda- 
tions are the same as correspond- 
ing sizes of the Premier. 


KEYSTONE 
Automatic, Insulated 
Storage Water Heater No. 2 


Marvel Non-Automatic 
Storage Heater: 


The Marvel has the same heating 
element and storage capacity as the 
Premier but is not automatic and is 
not insulated. When hot water is 
wanted, the burner is lighted by hand. 
In a very short time the entire con- 
tent of the tank is heated. The burner 
may then be turned low or out as 
desired. The Marvel is more efficient 
than side-arm combination heaters and 
tanks, as it is built all in one piece 
and uses the rising heat to better ad- 
vantage, recovering a much greater 
percentage of the heat units. 

Tank is extra heavy, galvanized in- 
side and out. Furnished with heat-re- 
taining pan stand. 

The Marvel heater is made in four 
sizes. No. 18, 12 gallons capacity, $30; 
No. 24, 17 gallons capacity, $31; No. 32, 
23 gallons capacity, $32; No. 42, 31

Hot Water Heaters 
There is a Dahlquist Hot Water Heater to meet every 
condition. Gas, kerosene, electric and an automatic for a 
continuous supply of hot water at an even temperature. 


Dahlquist Aquatherm 

The patented Dahlquist Aquatherm conveys hot water 
direct into the circulating system. 

It consists of two tubes, one within the other and an 
air space between them. It extends from the hot water 
connection nearest the heater, up through the cold water 
on the inside of the tank and connects direct to the 
circulating system. Thus the hot water is not easily cooled 
by the cold water. Small holes at the top of the Aquatherm 
permit the surplus hot water to be stored at the top of 
the tank. 

Hot water is produced in one and one half minutes. 

The Aquatherm is sold in connection with the Dahlquist 
copper tank or by itself. 

Any plumber can install the Aquatherm in your own 
hot water tank.

“Holyoke” Kerosene and 


Product 
Tank Water Heaters (Kerosene and Gas Fired) 


“Holyoke” Kerosene Water Heaters 

Hot Water is no longer regarded a city convenience alone—the suburban 
and country homes may also enjoy one of the greatest household necessities— 
hot water and plenty of it, through the installation of a ‘“Holyoke’’ Kerosene 
Water Heater. The ‘‘Holyoke’’ Kerosene Heater is unique, in that it may be 
used in any place where there is a water supply. 


An Unusually Rapid and 


“Holyoke” No. 4-30 (Kerosene) Economical Water Heater 


In appearance, design, performance and efficiency, ‘‘Holyoke’’ Tank 
Water Heaters are unsurpassed. 

The arrangement of the ‘‘Holyoke’’ quadruple patented seamless 
copper coil makes it an unusually rapid heater. The half turn of the 
coil baffles the rising heated gases, thus utilizing much heat that is wasted 
in other types of coil construction. 

The tubes are of such size that, in the aggregate, the coils present 
the greatest amount of heating surface to a given volume of water pass- 
ing through them. Each of the 4 tubes is 7% in. in diameter, with a total 
of 30 ft. of tubing per coil. 


HOT WATER COLD WATER 


Ss ‘‘Holyoke’’ Heaters provide an ample 
amount of hot water quickly, with a mini- 
mum consumption of fuel. Every heater is 
thoroughly tested under 250 lb. water pressure before leaving our factory. 

‘‘Holyoke’’ Heaters are intended for attachment to any type of range 
boiler or tank and are non-automatie in operation, i. e., they are manually lighted 
and extinguished. 

The burner is our New Improved blue flame wick type. It is instantly 
and positively regulated and combustion is practically odorless. Burner 1s 
attached to a removable cast iron plate supported by the heater back and held 
in place by a small screw, permitting easy removal for cleaning purposes. 

Shell is of cast iron, attractively finished in durable black enamel. 

A 9-pint kerosene reservoir is furnished as a part of each heater.

Hotstream Kerosene Water Heater No. 20 K. W.: 


This burner is particularly adopted for use in country 
and suburban homes where there is no gas supply, but it 
can be easily and quickly converted to use gas. It operates 
in the same general manner as gas heaters and will give 
satisfactory service in every way. 

Instantly lighted at the touch of a match. No generation 
required. Burns with a steady blue flame without noise, 
soot, smoke or odor. Flame can be regulated high or low 
as desired. Heater can be kept going constantly with a low 
flame, which insures a plentiful supply of hot water at all 
times. 


perfect combustion of this burner 

means a substantial saving of 
fuel. It consumes 90 gallons of tee 
air to one gallon of kerosene— = | 
burning 19% hours on a full fire 
and 30 hours on a low fire. 

A special feature of this heater 
is the Coil Assembly consisting 
of four % inch copper coils con- 
nected to brass manifolds with 
union connectors. Their compact- 
ness brings the entire surface of the coils in close contact 
with the flame. This, together with the small diameter of 
the coils, insures quick heating of water at low fuel con- 
sumption—furnishing hot water at a usable temperature 
on the first circulation. 

The No. 20 GK is a larger heater recommended for greater 
hot water demand.

steel, head of No. 8 gauge steel, and 
bottom is 7 of an inch thick. They 
are hot dipped galvanized inside and 
out and tested to 200 pounds water pres- 
sure, All seams are riveted and welded. 


The 50 gallon tank has a quarter inch 
shell and ¥ inch top and bottom heads, 
with riveted and copper bronzed seams, 
tested to 250 pounds water pressure. 


_ No. 30 
Capacity 30 Gallons 


Copper boilers can be furnished when 
desired. Tanks are firmly supported on 
three heavy cast iron legs, bolted to a 
east iron ring to which the tank is 
fastened. 


Heater: 

The heater shell is of cast iron, heavily 
enameled in black. Coils, jacket and 
burner are arranged to transfer maxi- 
mum heat from the gas to the water in 
the coils. Circulating connections are 
oversized—one inch pipe in the 20 and 
30 gallon capacity, and 14 inch pipe in 
the 50 gallon. Water entering the heater 
coil is taken from a point in the tank 
two inches above the bottom, avoiding 
the disturbing of any sediment that may 
have collected. The heater sets low on 
the tank which reduces back circulation 
and cuts down standby losses. 


Insulation: 

The extra thick hair felt, degreased 
and sterilized, is the best insulator known, 
It is wrapped around the tank of the 
Welsbach and protected by a sheet steel 
casing. It keeps the water hot for hours 
and hours without any burning of gas. 


Water Coil: 


The double copper coil is of No. 18 
gauge, which insures long life. It al- 
lows a full, free flow of water and pro- 


No. 20 
Capacity 20 Gallons 


vides for rapid heating and economical 
operation. 


Thermostat: 


A thermostat of the magnetic snap 
action type is used. Temperature of water 
in the tank is maintained between 145 
and 160 degrees. Whenever, through 
withdrawal of hot water or from gradual 
cooling, temperature falls ‘below 145 de- 
grees, the thermostat automatically turns 
on the gas to heat it up again. 


Burner: 


The burner is of gauzeless, single piece, 
cast iron construction, readily removable 
from Bunsen tube for cleaning. It con- 
forms with the recommendations of the 
Bureau of Standards. Under test, this 
burner and heater shows no _ carbon 
monoxide, 


Fittings and Pipe Sizes: 


All pipes and fittings that come in con- 
tact with water are of copper or brass 
to avoid rust contamination. One inch 
water inlet and outlet pipes, terminating 
in full brass unions are used. Gas sup- 
ply pipes are half inch.

THE MERION:—A High Quality Automatic Storage 
Heater Built in Large Volume at a Price and Operating 
Cost, So Low, That Every Home Can Afford One 


Hot Water at Low Cost—The low price of the family size 
Merion Automatic Storage Gas Fired Water Heater, $70.00, 
permits you to place this modern convenience in every home, 
regardless of price. In addition, its economy of operation 
results in low gas bill for the user. On request we -will be 
glad to furnish records or copies of gas bills proving this 
claim. 


Features of the Merion Automatic Storage Gas Fired 
Water Heater— The Merion Automatic is a highly developed 
and efficient storage water heater that heats the entire 
eontents of the tank to 160° F., and, like a giant thermos 
bottle, keeps the water at this temperature for immediate 
use at all hot water faucets. 

The construction and operation of this high efficiency, 
silent, safe and economical heater are fullv explained in the 
illustration below. 


Draft Hood—Burned gases pass out here ee 


and into the flue. 


Hot Water Outlet—A sunply of hot 
water at 160° F., is always available. 


Hot Water Riser—Through this tube the 
hot water rises directly to the top of the tank. 
No coils are used in the Merion. 


Storage Tank—Extra_ heavy “electric 
weld” boiler. No solder, no rivets, no leaks. 


Casing—Heavy steel. Finished in robin’s 
egg blue enamel (Automobile Lacquer) which 
is practically indestructible. 


Heating Element—Cold water descends 
into the heating element, spreads over the 
hot inner surface of the element in a thin 
sheet, and rises through the tube in the 
center to the top of the tank. 


‘ Combustion Chamber—Enclosed and _ well 
insulated. Never gets hot on outside, Takes 
care of condensation and draft interference. 


Self-closing Lighting Hole—Used only 
when lighting the heater. The Merion has 
no door or other openings that would allow 
drafts to affect the burner. This also means 
safety, as no explosion caused by careless 
lighting can burn the user. 


Drain Cock—Periodical drainage carries 
off sediment and keeps bottom of tank clean. 


Removable Bottom Cover—Allows easy 
access to heating parts. One-third of its 
area is asbestos made to push out and re- 
lease pressure downward if exploded by care- 
less lighting. 


Fully Automatic in Operation—When water in the tank 
is heated to 160° F., the thermostatic valve automatically 
reduces the gas supply and lowers the flame. When hot 
water is drawn from the top of the tank, cold water re- 
places it at the bottom. This causes: the thermostatic valve 
to increase the size of the flame until the hot water is 
replenished, when the flame is again automatically lowered. 


Triple Heating Method Utilizes Heat Units to Fullest 
Extent Possible—In addition to the heating element (which 
has a swift thermo-siphon action), the heat units from the 
gas flame in the Merion are also absorbed through the tank 
bottom and the internal flue. In this manner, maximum 
heat transmission is established and the heat losses at the 
vent are negligible. 


Cold Water Inlet—Cold water is imme- 
diately carried to the bottom of the tank 
through the cold water pipe. 


Flue—After the hot gases have heated the 
element and bottom of the tank, they pass 
up this flue, helping to further heat the water 
and balancing temperature top and bottom. 


Asbestos Insulation—Heater is com- 
pletely surrounded by cellular asbestos 1%4 
in. thick. Radiation losses are very low. 


Graduated Thermostatic Valve—Controls 
the burner. Needs no adjustment, as it is 
permanently set at the factory. It is full 
automatic and will adjust itself to different 
qualities of gas and to varying gas pressures. 
This feature means low gas bills. 


Tank Bottom—Heated over its entire 
area by the gas flame which is deflected by 
the heating element, thus heat which is or- 
dinarily wasted is utilized to advantage in 
the Merion. 


Burner—Has no pilot light. When tank 
is full of hot water, thermostatic valve re- 
duces the gas flow so that the burner acts as 
its own pilot. Has no gauze and will not 
clog nor backfire. as a perfect range of 
adjustment from 1 to 30 ft. of gas per hour. 


Needle Valve Gas Mixer—Set for arti- 
ficial gas. Adjustable for natural gas. Has 
high nozzle velocity. 


Gas Cock—Can be shut off with one- 
quarter turn.

Merion Automatic Storage Gas Fired Water Heater (Cont'd) 


Merion Dual Action Thermostatic Valve—The 
thermostatic valve in the Merion controls both the “pilot 
feature” (low flame) of the burner, also the main heat 
(high flame)—fluctuating gas pressures or varying 
qualities of gas can not cause trouble as in cases where 
separate pilot lights are used. 

The one action of this valve provides a small gas 
flow for the low flame (pilot feature) or for small 
demands, and passes from 1 to 8 cu. ft. of gas an hour. 
The other action provides a larger gas flow for a high 
flame (operating only when the demand for hot water 
is great) and passes up to 30 cu. ft. of gas an hour. 
Both actions are of the graduated type. 

The temperature of the water is held practically con- 
stant (160° F.) due to the perfect control of all gas 
flows by this dual action valve. 

No Separate Pilot Light—No separate pilot light 
is used in the Merion, but instead, a low flame is main- 
tained by the burner through the action of the thermo- 
static valve, and thus, while serving as its own pilot, 
the burner keeps the water in the tank at the predeter- 
mined temperature until heavy demands require a larger 
flame. 


Economical Operation—The Merion principle of dual 
action thermostat valve and continuously maintained water 
temperature works a real saving in cost of operation. In- 
stead of using small storage, low temperature, and extrava- 
gant burners that burn intermittently, and create hot water 
by short, fierce, wasteful blasts of gas, we have taken full 


advantage of the possibilities of storage and temperature. 
The Merion can be operated at lower cost than any auto- 
matic gas water heater on the market. 


Easily Installed— The Merion is a self-contained unit 
ready for installation. Only two water connections and one 
gas connection are necessary. Rapid and inexpensive in- 
stallation is therefore assured. 

“Electric Weld’? Tank—vThe storage tank is extra heavy 
“Hlectric Weld” construction—there are no rivets nor seams 
that can leak. Thoroughly inspected and tested before 
shipment. 

Stocked Everywhere and Serviced—Merion heaters are 
earried in stock by leading plumbing supply jobbers and 
sold by plumbers everywhere. 

Suggestions and sketches for installing Merion heaters 
in tandem, or battery formation, or in connection with 
furnacé coil, for winter service, will be supplied by us on 
request. 

They are serviced by JoHN Woop MANUFACTURING 
CoMPANY, which has trained service men available in every 
section.

Standard Combination Range Boiler and Gas Fired Water Heater 


This combination range boiler and heater is without 
thermostatic control and is intended for intermittent 
service. It must be lighted manually when hot water is 
required and the gas shut off manually when the demand 
for hot water has been met. 


Economical in Fuel Consumption—The Standard 
has the same principle of internal heater, special design 
burner, heating element and heating flue that is in- 
corporated in the Merion heater described on the pre- 
ceding page. This principle means fullest possible 
utilization of the heat units from the gas, minimum gas 
consumption and hot water at the faucet in five minutes. 


The Standard, with its built-in heater, is much more 
economical in the consumption of gas than an inde- 
pendent gas heater connected to the boiler. Independent 
heaters have extremely large radiation losses, and it is 
this lost heat that is used in the Standard for practical 
heating service.

‘Hot Water in Five Minutes—The 
incoming cold water descends to the 
bottom of the boiler and enters the 
heating element. When the burner 
is lighted, hot water immediately 
starts flowing from the heating 
element up through the hot water 
riser to the top of the boiler. This 
quick action gives hot water in five 
minutes and a tank full of hot water 
in a very short time. 


No Condensation— Condensation 
troubles have been prevented in the 
Standard by the use of a special 
design spreader and a pan stand 
that closes the combustion chamber. 
All moisture is quickly evaporated— 
there is no moisture dripping on the 
floor. 


Easily Connected—There are only 
two water connections and one gas 
connection to be made, therefore in- 
stallation is rapid and inexpensive. 


The Standard can be connected to 
the heating boiler or to the kitchen 
range for winter service, but it is 
more economical to use gas, the 
“Standard” way.

The boiler is electrically welded. 
There are no rivets, solder or seams 
to leak. Each boiler is fully tested } 
and inspected before shipment, and Rana Poller ad

The Mascot Cabinet Gas Range 


Belongs in Every Kitchen Where Space Is Needed 


Made by 


MASCOT STOVE MANUFACTURING COMPANY 


Chattanooga, Tennessee 


The Picture on the Right Tells the Story 


The old-time gas range was designed in 
the days when kitchens were much larger 
than they are now. Space saving was of no 
consequence, so the gas range could be 50 
inches wide and nobody cared. But today 
houses are being built in which every square 
foot of space must justify its existence. We 
have learned that waste space is costly—and 
inconvenient. The housewife finds it easier 
to work in a small kitchen where everything 


Gray Enameled (No. GG-4-18) Plain Finish (No. PG-4-18) 


Made Also in High Finish (No. HG-4-18) and Blue Enameled 
(No. BG-4-18) 


is within convenient reach than in a big 
kitchen where she walks miles a day going 
from range to sink, from sink to pantry, 
and from pantry to range and sink again. 


The Range for the Small Kitchen 


The Mascot Cabinet Gas Range is the 
ideal range for the small, modern kitchen. 
It occupies a floor space of only 26x22 
inches—yet it has all the conveniences you 
will find in a range twice its size. Here are 
some of them: 

Three standard size star burners, one 
master burner, one simmering burner;

just the right height so that housewife can 
reach into it without having to stoop over. 


A large, roomy cabinet in bottom of 
range for pots and pans—22’x18"x18". 

Construction and materials of the highest 
quality—rust-resisting Wilder Metal for the

styles and sizes to fit every need. Finished in either 
standard black finish or gray enameled finish: While 
the enameled finish costs slightly more, this is more 
than made up in the saving of labor in keeping up the 
appearance of the ranges. 


The bright gray enamel finish is exceptionally attractive and 
is easily kept clean—a damp cloth removing all dust that 
might collect. Three coats of enamel are baked on at a 
very high temperature which virtually fuses the enamel with 
the iron making a lasting finish. Ranges are fitted with 
polished iron tops, in keeping with the other attractive features 
of these ranges. Three popular models are illustrated. 


“¢Perfect’’ ranges have earned a reputation for their scien- 
tific and practical construction as well as for their appearance. 
They lessen the labor of cooking, decrease fuel consumption and 
reduce the expense of repairs. 


Some of the valuable features of Richardson ‘‘Perfect’’ 
ranges are: 

Correct Construction—by which the proportions of grate, 
firebox and flue assure the highest efficiency of fuel con- 
sumption. : 

Removable Grate—which can be taken out without disturb- 
ing the brick grate-rest or water-back. 

Large Flwe—distributing the heat equally around the oven 
which results in perfect baking and cooking with the least 
expenditure of fuel. 

Large Broiling Door—Very convenient for broiling pur- 
poses. 

Heavy, Large Water Back—assuring an abundance of hot 
water. 


Extra large, Roomy Oven with Foot Attachment for open- 
ing oven door. 


Richardson ‘Perfect’? Grates and Ash Chute 


All ‘‘Perfect’’ Coal or Com- 
bination Coal and Gas Ranges 
are furnished with triangular re- 
volving’ ventilating grate bars 
for burning coal or wood, which 
insure a clean, fresh fire. The 
ash chute illustrated can be sup- 
plied for all ‘‘Perfect’’ ranges 
that rest upon the floor without 
legs. Ashes drop directly into 
a pit or ash cans placed in the 
cellar, doing away with the re- 
moval of ashes in the kitchen. 
The attachment consists of ash 
chute, one damper and _ two 
lengths of galvanized pipe. 
Where cans are used, a close- 
fitting top for can and telescopie 
section of pipe should be speci- 
fied to be supplied by sheet metal 
contractor. 


Ash Chute 


Richardson ‘Perfect’? Combination Coal and Gas 
Range No. 428 


This range can be used for either coal or gas sepa- 
rately, or together, as desired. It has an exception- 
ally large cooking surface and roomy baking and 
broiling ovens. 


It is equipped with an upper gas broiler and hot 
closet. The range top has six covers, the gas section 
four large and one simmering burner. 


Like all Richardson coal ranges, this range is 
equipped with triangular grate bars, a large fire box 
with sufficient capacity for a lasting and economical 
fire. 


The check draft and damper control the amount of 
heat, and keep the ovens at an even temperature. 
Indicators on both coal and gas ovens show the tem- 
perature of ovens at all times. 


This range may be had with nickel plated shelf and enamel 
back instead of upper hot closet, if desired. 


Water back connections may be taken to either right or left 
side of range. Ash chute can be furnished if desired.

and four gas openings. This range is equipped with 
dock-ash grate bars (but may have triangular re- 
volving grate bars); dustproof fire box, preventing 
dirt falling on the floor; ash pan concealed in the

RICHARDSON “PERFECT” GAS RANGES 
(ose epee ciate te nln 


General Description 

These ranges are equipped with every modern improvement to 
insure satisfactory cooking with the least possible labor and 
lowest gas consumption. All cooking surfaces are at the most 
convenient height and of correct size for the greatest possible 
economy in operation. The oven burners maintain as even a 
quality of heat when operated at one-third or two-thirds 
capacity as when turned on full—giving the best results in 
baking, cooking or pre-heating. 

Ranges are supplied in three different oven capacities—18, 
16 and 14 inch. Three finishes—full enamel, three quarter 
enamel and plain finish. 

There are two particulars in which the Richardson ‘Perfect’ 
unquestionably leads all competition. 


The Oven 


The four-way oven applies heat evenly to all six sides of 
the oven—to the four walls and also to the top and bottom. 
The heat circulated is evenly distributed, everywhere enough— 
nowhere too much. 


The Burners 

The “Perfect” oven burner has ample capacity to allow for 
gas expansion inside the burner which prevents the floating of 
gas through the burner opening. This is of great importance 
over a long firing period. The extra size of the supply arm, 
permits an ample volume of air to mix thoroughly with the gas. 
All top burners are one-piece seamless castings drilled to con- 
centrate the heat and are easily removable. They cannot leak 
gas. 

A glance at the illustrations will show that ‘Perfect’ Gas 
Ranges have great beauty of design. The white - porcelain 
enamel is of the highest quality. The aluminumized oven linings 
are baked on and are not subject to rust or discoloration. 


“Perfect”? No. H-418 BS 


An all enamel six burner range, with one oven for the larger 
kitchens. All top, oven and broiler burners are of generous 
size scientifically designed to render the finest, most economical 
service. The ovens are removable. Right or left hand ovens 
are optional.

STERLING GAS RANGES 


oas dependable G\

Made by 


STERLING RANGE & FURNACE CORP. 
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK 


Model X-4 


This range supplies more capacity than the ordinary 
cabinet gas range and yet occupies only thirty-two inches 
(32”) of floor space, or can be put in an even smaller 
recess by removing the top shelf. 

Top cooking—oven cooking—broiling—these three 
cooking operations can be done on this range with 
maximum speed, and minimum fuel expense and labor. 

Cooking Top—the Sterling “Klean-top” with its 
drop fingers operates perfectly either as a close top 
or an open top. When only a small vessel is to be used 
the open top gives greatest speed and economy. For 
a large meal the closed top gives ample room and can 
be heated by using simply the two front burners. 

Oven—1914, inches deep, 14 inches high, and 16 
inches wide—large enough to roast an eighteen or 
twenty pound turkey. Bakes evenly in all corners, top 
and bottom. 'The automatic oven control regulates it 
for any kind of baking. 

Broiler—No pan to scour and wash, guaranteed 
against catching fire, broils on both sides at the same 
time. It requires no pre-heating and broils in less than 
half the time and with less than half the fuel of the 
usual broiler.

Model X-6 
The Model X-6 differs from the X-4 in only two 


particulars It is 4 inches wider and it has added to 
it the fire-box of the Scientific Sterling, that for ten 
years has been giving satisfaction to thousands of users. 


Fire Box—this fire box serves three purposes. It 
warms the kitchen. It gives an economical and con- 
stant supply of hot water. It is a convenient method 
of disposing of much kitchen trash and waste virtually 
a handy incinerator. 

This fire box will burn equally well any fuel—coal, 
wood or coke, and has a gas kindler. The fire box is 
15 inches deep and incorporates all the features that 
have made Sterling ranges famous, such as the rounded 
end and the well known Sterling grates. 

Both the X-4 and X-6 can be obtained in black or in 
beautiful and easy-to-clean enamel. The extra-size 
flue keeps the kitchen free from objectionable cooking 
odors.

SCIENTIFIC STERLING COMBINATION COAL & GAS RANGE 


This popular, efficient cooker gives the 
solid comfort of a coal range and the con- 
venience and speed of a gas range—all in 
one compact unit. One turn of a lever 
changes it from coal to gas. Or, if extra 
capacity is required, both may be used at 
the same time. It is warm in winter and 
cool in summer. The patented water heater, 
which is built right into the range, is equally

The Sterling Scientific saves time, trouble 
and fuel. 


Special features of the Scientific Sterling 
are: 


1—Two complete ranges in 36 inches of 
floor space. ; 


2—Deep, roomy ashpan or ash chute direct 
to cellar.

THE STERLING MODEL 300W WARM FLOOR FURNACE 


Is the result of many years of scientific 
It has solved the 


heating problem in many homes. It can be 
supplied for either pipe or pipeless installa- 
tion. It cecupies but small space in the cellar, 
and keeps the home beautifully warm in the 
coldest weather with only half the fuel that 
the average furnace consumes. 


study and experimenting. 


Almost any furnace will fill a home with 
“just heat,” but to be healthful it must con- 
tain the proper proportion of freshness and 
moisture which makes it invigorating and 
health-giving. With Sterling furnaces, the 
cold air is drawn down to the furnace, 
passes over the hot castings, is moistened by 
the large humidifier, and passes up through 


the house. Thus, a continuous circulation 
of warm, moist air is created—the most 
healthful system of heating yet devised. 


Sterling Triplex Grates support the fire 
perfectly and yet have 70% of their space 
open to allow a free passage of air. The 
large combustion dome allows plenty of 
room for complete combustion. Every lump 
of coal is burned thoroughly. Heat is not 
wasted up the chimney. 


For homes that are not suitably designed 
for pipeless furnaces, there is a Sterling pipe 
furnace. Give us your specifications and we 
will be glad to send you full particulars 
of the Sterling furnace that will heat your 
home satisfactorily and economically. 


THE STERLING “CHEERY-GLOW” HEATER 


Gives furnace heat with less fuel con- 
sumption than the average stove. Unlike 
an ordinary stove which heats only one 
room, the “Cheery-Glow” circulates warm, 
moist, health giving air throughout the en- 
tire house. It is the ideal heating system 
for a small home of 3 to 5 rooms. The 
large illuminated feed door gives fireplace 
cheerfulness without the smoke and dirt of 
an open fire. 


The “Cheery-Glow” requires no cellar or 
expensive furnace installation. It can be 
easily and quickly set up in the fall and 
taken down in the spring. With its natural

grain walnut finish and its attractive 
Queen Ann design, the “Cheery-Glow” adds 
to the appearance of any room. 


We haven’t space here to tell you of all 
the exclusive features of this efficient heater 
—such as the slotted firepot and the large 
combustion chamber which are two reasons 
why the “Cheery-Glow” burns less fuel—the 
reversible grates which give equal satisfac- 
tion with either coal or wood—and the smoke 
pipe connection, which can be made low 


down straight into the chimney or the usual 
style depending upon conditions. Write us

Thatcher Twin-Fire Ranges 


A range that burns both coal and gas is a great 
convenience in many homes. In the summer time one 
may use the gas section only and thus have a cool 
kitchen, while in cold weather a coal fire in the range 
is a great comfort to the housewife, providing genial 
warmth to the room in which she spends much of her 
time. 


A Compact Range 


In spite of the fact that the Thatcher Twin-Fire 
combines two complete ranges in one, its compact 
dimensions permit it to be used in the smallest kitchens. 
Its extreme width is only 40 inches—depth 2934 inches 
—and height 671% inches. 


A Beautiful Range 


The Twin-Fire is well proportioned and is beauti- 
fully finished in gray porcelain enamel with white 
porcelain enamel splasher and drip pan. An occasional 
rubbing with a damp cloth keeps it immaculately clean 
and as the enamel is in three coats, baked on at a 
high temperature, it preserves its original lustre for 
years. 


Note These Distinctive Features 

Two, large ovens—a gas oven and a coal oven. 
Patented Waterback requires no extra space and 
heated by either gas or coal in a remarkably short time. 
Patented Pull Down Broiler Rack brings roast to con- 
venient height. Foot Touch Oven Door Opener for 
lower oven—a great convenience when both hands are 
full. Automatic Lighter for gas burners. Closet for 
pots and pans under lower oven. Gas section and coal 
section entirely separate—two complete ranges in one— 
which may be used separately or at the same time as 
desired. Can be furnished on leg or cabinet base.

Thatcher Single Oven 
Coal Range—No. 88 


Thatcher Single and Double Oven Coal Ranges 


The ovens are unusually large, so that meats or fowl 
may be roasted and a large baking of bread handled 
at the same time—all the baking and roasting being 
done quickly to perfection. 


All Thatcher ranges are constructed to give the best

HOLMES concealed BEDS 


Made by 


Holmes Disappearing Bed Company, 117 Madison Street, Woodstock, IIl. 
Concealed Bed Corporation, 58 E. Washington Street, Dept. 602, Chicago, Ill. 
Distributors for Marshall & Steazns Co. and Holmes Disappearing Bed Co. 


Holmes Beds are the original concealed beds. But since 
the. first Holmes Concealed Bed was manufactured—over 
twenty years ago—we have made hundreds of improvements, ~ 
reflected in the various types shown on these pages. The 
line is very complete, in beautiful, practical designs. All 
Holmes beds are of heavy seamless steel tubing and furnished 
in full size 54 in.; %4 size, 48 in.; single or twins, 39 in. or 36 
in. Holmes Beds are recognized as the most simple in con- 
struction, having fewer moving parts and being perfectly 
counter-balanced. When the bed is down in sleeping position 
it is just as solid and secure as any standard set-up bed. 
Holmes Concealed Beds are the only beds of this type designed 
to permit the use of full coil springs or box springs. Holmes 
Coii Springs extend the entire 
length and width of the bed. 
There are 120 full spiral coils 
made of retempered Premier 
wire—easy to keep clean—and 
vermin proof. The Holmes Roller 
Bed is the only one that must 
have coil springs. Any of the 
other beds may have either coil, 
box or fabric. Fabrice springs 
take one-piece foot ends. Coil or 
box springs take two-piece foot 
ends. Holmes Beds are regu- 
larly finished in American Wal- 
nut or Mahogany. The finish 
is applied by an exclusive proc- 
ess that leaves a glossy, smooth 
surface, easily kept in good 
condition, and above all clean and sanitary. Other finishes or 
designs can be supplied when specified.

HOLMES ROLLER BED 


Model 39 B. Sq. tubing, cane panels and requires less floor space in storing than any other make. 


This type of Holmes Concealed Bed not only saves floor 
space, but is rolled about so easily that it can be kept in any 
part of the home desired. It can be rolled into a closet, moved 
into a corner and concealed by a canopy or drapes, or it can 
just as easily be rolled into another room or into a hall where 
there is space for concealment. It is a full size 54-in. stand- 
ard bed, complete with head and automatic foot end, and 
equipped with special highly resilient full coil springs, sani- 
try, vermin-proof, easily cleaned. A specially designed safe- 
euard bumper prevents any possibility of damage to furniture, 
walls or woodwork. Specially designed patented double ball- 
bearing, highly polished, perfectly beveled 41%%4-in. hardwood

maple rollers, which operate easily and smoothly, are used to 
prevent floors from being marred or the carpets and rugs from 
being damaged. These rollers will never wear out. An ex- 
elusive feature is the Holmes automatic lock which prevents 
the bed from ‘‘jack-knifing’’ or folding over on top of the 
sleeping surface when the bed is down. This bed is handsome 
in design, a fine piece of furniture, with a beautiful, durable 
finish—sanitary, easy to operate, clean, convenient and com- 
fortable as any standard bed. Closet space required on 
straight run in: Depth 5 ft.—width 2 ft. 2 in. door minimum, 
height 6 ft. 8 in. or 7 ft. 


HOLMES “ROLL-OUT” RECESS BED 


(Model 19 S-B) 


This type of Holmes Concealed Bed is especially designed 
for installation in rooms where deep closet space is not avail- 
able. With the exclusive Holmes roll-out feature, which auto- 
matically causes the bed to advance 14 inches when lowered, the 
head of the sleepér in out in the room—not back in the 
closet. It is fastened directly to the floor, in a shoe on each 
side, and pulls straight down into the room, There is no revolv- 
ing mechanism of any kind. It will not damage floors, rugs or 
carpets by rolling in one place. Saves floor space—closet 
space required for full size 54-in. bed: .Depth, 18 in. inside of 
door to plaster (in clear), width, 5 ft. using 2 ft. 6 in. doors, 
height, 7 ft. If it is not possible to build even an 18-in. 
closet into the wall, the closet can be built out in the room, 
giving effective concealment. Canopies or drapes may also be 
used effectively with this type of bed. ; 

We also make a complete line of standard attached recess 
beds, without the new patented ‘‘Roll-Out’’ feature, which 
require the same closet space as above, except that they may 
also use 6-ft. 8-in. doors. Specifications and full dimensions 
sent on request.

Holmes Twin Pivot Center Door Bed 
— (Model No. 41-B) 

This twin bed installation is typical of the beautiful effects 
which can be.secured by using Holmes Beds. Note the one- 
piece foot ends and absence of operating mechanism on head 
ends. The standard two-piece foot end with full coil springs, 
using steel standard bar which carries combined weight of 
door and bed, may also be used in this installation. The 
mirrored door between allows access to closet, whether beds 
are up or down. Doors of various designs may be used for 
concealing the twins, or the walls may be paneled. The center 
door in this twin installation is pivoted off center and allows 
access to the closet at all times. When the closet is enlarged 
for use as a dressing room, with bathroom adjoining, the fact 
that the door can be opened and closed regardless of posi- 
tion of beds is especially important. Holmes twin bed in- 
stallations require less space than others and close the open- 
ing back of beds.

Holmes Two-Docr Pivot Bed 
(Model No. 45) 


This is an exceptionally good looking, comfortable bed. The 
spread hides what little mechanism there is. Closet door can 
be opened or closed when bed is in sleeping position, allow- 
ing access to closet and when closed prevents any draft on 
sleeper. It may be installed either with or without the steel 
standard bar, standard bar being used when 1%%-in. French 
or mirrored doors are used, thus eliminating all strain from 
door and insuring against warping or sagging of door. The 
standard bar carries the weight of bed and door and makes 
a perfect installation from an engineering standpoint. Doors 
of any thickness can be used. If no steel standard bar is used, 
a specially designed steel angle is fastened across the door 
where it cannot be seen. The bed is attached to this angle 
and the weight distributed over entire door. Doors 1%4-in. 
thickness are required. 

An exclusive feature on all Holmes pivot beds is that they 
are easily adjusted without removing bed from opening, thus 
avoiding extra expense if building settles. 

Closet space required on full size 54-in. bed; depth 24-in. 
inside of door to plaster (in clear); height 6-ft. 8-in. or 7-ft.

If pivot bed without standard is used 2 2-ft. 6-in. doors 
may be used for full size bed. 


Marshall & Stearns Oscillating Portal Bed 
Model No. 51 


This type of concealed bed has given universal satisfaction 
for many years because it can be used to increase the room 
efficiency of any type of home, whether it be large or small. 
Concealment can be made so perfect that the most critical 
eye is deceived. A handsome buffet, book-case, desk or large 
mirror may be attached to the front of the bed panel. When 
the bed is in sleeping position, it is as refined in appearance 
and just as “good looking as the.most exclusively designed 
The bed 
can be pivoted into the room and lowered into place by a 
child, it works so easily.» It has no complicated head and 
foot operating mechanism. If the bed is used in connection 
with a dressing. room or storage closet, the bed may be turned 
slightly to allow access. This can be easily done when the 
bed is down—it does not have to be upended.

Literature explaining in detail each product can be 
had for the asking, from any of the offices listed above. 
A Technical Service Department is maintained to co- 
operate with you—you should take advantage of this 
service and get the most out of MURPHY Equipment. 


Why Every Home Should Have a Murphy Bed 


That every home has a need for a MURPHY BED 
has been proven by thousands of installations in homes 
of all sizes. These needs are many and varied—the 
sum total of all of them are, fundamentally, economic. 

The average home costs about one thousand dollars 
a room to build. The size of a home is determined by 
the number of sleeping rooms required by the family 
which is to occupy it—these with the kitchen, dining 
room and living room fixes the number of rooms. 

If it were not for this cost of a thousand or more 
dollars per room, every lover of a home would have 
some one room in addition to those actually required. 
This “other room” might be a Sun Parlor, Den, Chil- 
dren’s Room, Sewing Room, or a Sleeping Porch.

A bed room equipped with the ordinary bed is used 
but eight hours of the twenty-four—the other sixteen 
hours it is unoccupied and serves only as a store room 
for the furniture. Properly equipped with a MURPHY 
IN-A-DOR BED, a bed room can be made available 
twenty-four hours of the day. In this way another 
room can be added to the home at no additional cost— 
no furnishing, decorating, or heating expenses and last, 
but not least, no additional household care. 

Here, then, is proof that you need not forego that 
other room. When you build, prepare for a MURPHY 
IN-A-DOR BED — it is concealed in an ordinary closet 
behind an ordinary door. 


The Murphy In-A-Door Bed 


The MURPHY IN-A-DOR BED differs from the 
ordinary bed only in that it is raised to a vertical 
position and pivots into a closet—it is made in the 
same standard sizes as the ordinary bed—is equipped 
with the same standard spring—therefore, furnishes the 
same sleeping comfort as a good ordinary bed. Its 
patented multiple spring balance and method of pivot- 
ing make its operation simple and easy—requires no 
more effort than moving a chair. Moving on its pivot 
clear of the floor, it requires no guiding—does not mar 
floors or woodwork.

finishes,

request by friend or absent member of the family with which 
it is a pleasure to comply. Like magic a bed of unequalled 
comfort and of striking design may be rolled from its point of 
convenient concealment, and any room in the house becomes, 
in a twinkling, a guest room for the night. 


Building Economy 

The Roll-A-Way has met the demand for building economy. 
The aim of today is to give greater living efficiency to smaller 
area, and at the same time to preserve comfort and conven- 
ience. This bed saves a room, or many rooms, if desired, by 
giving any room the qualities of a bed room at night without 
interfering with its normal utility. Moreover, space, doors, 
trim and materials may be saved in any home construction. 


Economy of Maintenance 

There is no object in maintaining needless extra rooms. A 
home with Roll-A-Way efficiency is a convenient easily kept 
living unit. Much household labor is eliminated. 


Greater Sleeping Comfort 


There are additional joys in Roll-A-Way 
slumber as it may be had at the window or 
even on the sleeping porch by merely roll- 
ing the bed to the desired spot and letting 
it down for use. 


Sunning and Airing 

The bed may also be rolled to the window 
where the sunshine can strike it, making it fresh and whole- 
some. 


Permanent Usage 

There is no furniture which makes our bed look out of place, 
and when down for use it presents an appearance which fits 
into the scheme of the best furnishings. It is not merely an 
‘Coxtra’’ bed—members of the family may sleep continuously 
in the large airy living room. 


The ‘Home Bed’ 
This is truly ‘‘the bed for the modern home,’’ combining 
beauty, economy, convenience and profound comfort.

Advantages of the 
“White”? Door Bed 


‘White’? Door Bed 
is in every respect a real 
bed, mechanically adjusted 
to smaller space. In com- 
fort, appearance and dura- 
bility, it is equaled only by 
the finer type of stationary 
beds. Made in standard 
sizes with regulation height 
head and foot ends. 


Perfectly Balanced—The 
convolute spring balance, an 
exclusive feature (see next 

page), balances any weight 


advantages of a 6 or 7-room 
home are obtained in a 4 or 5-room bunga- 
low at a considerably lower cost. 


The housewife’s labors are materially 
lessened not only because of the smaller 
house to care for, but also through the aid 
of convenient space saving devices that 


A single motion brings it into place ready for use. 


from 24 to 200 lbs. Bed 
can be released at any position and will not 
close up or drop. 


Easy to Operate—It can be raised or 
lowered with a single. effortless motion. No 
pulling or adjusting of legs or headboard. 
Legs lock automatically ge bed is low- 
ered. 


Simple—it is built with fewer parts than 
has been possible before. No complicated 
mechanism; no exposed springs to catch 
dirt and dust: no movable parts to tear the 
bedding. 


Affords Perfect 
Concealment — 
When bed is in 
use in the room, 
the opening is 
completely closed, 
preventing drafts 
and concealing 
the dressing room 
from view at all 
times. Hasy ac-

two small bed plates to be screwed on 
to the door, upon which the bed is 
secured by its own weight and from 
which it may be instantly removed, 
if desired. Hither a full size or a 
twin size bed may be hung on the 
same door without any adjustment.

a box spring. Made for restful sleep. May

Guaranteed—Rigid construction. 
tially built for lasting service. 
for 20 years. 


Convolute Spring Balance—An Exclusive 
Feature—An entirely new principle in dis- 
appearing bed construction has been applied 
in ‘‘White’’ Door Beds. Powerful convolute 
spring balances are used which will balance 
any weight ranging from 24 to 200 lb. 


Balances operate parallel with the door, 
relieving door strain and thus cannot warp 
the door. 


The bed is perfectly balanced and will re- 
main in any position without falling or 
elosing up. The life of the balance is prac- 
tically everlasting. 


Exclusive Points of Superiority of the ‘‘White”’ Door Bed 

1—Automatic locking device holds legs rigid and secure. No danger of 
eollapsing. Legs swing into position when bed is raised or lowered. 
No pulling or adjusting. 

2—Full box spring, luxurious and comfortable, set in side rail same as 
standard metal bed. This is standard equipment. 

38—Sliding head board operates on easy moving rollers and holds pillows 
in position. 

4—Bed is held by its own weight in socket plates on each side of door and 
may be instantly lifted off door if desired. 

5—Panel door can be opened or closed when bed is either up or down, 
allowing entrance to dressing room at all times. 

6—Twenty- -year guarantee fabric spring with which bed is equipped if box 
spring is not ‘desired. Coil spring also may be had. 

7—(See below) Bed operates on rollers inside head posts. 

8—(See below) The Convolute Spring gives perfect balance, easy operation, 
and improved appearance.

Craftex—A Permanent Wall Finish

220 So. State St. 
Chicago 


726 Murphy Ave. 6843 Scanlon Ave. 
Atlanta St. Louis 


Handled boldly, or in restraint, the Craftex wall is strikingly 


individual. Textured by hand, no single square inch exactly 
duplicates another or repeats a pattern, Craftex achieves perfect 
harmony without concession of interest. 


Products 
Craftex a Plastic Paint Wall Finish. 
Also Lacquersize, a Size for use over 
Craftex; Craftcoat, a glaze for use over 
Craftex and Lacquersize. 


Craftex 

Craftex is a plastic paint that is apphed 
with a brush to any surface to which oil 
paint can be applied—to many on which 
paint is never used. 


With it, painters can produce the tex- 
tured, plaster or antique period effects so 
much in demand today, and in any color or 
combination of colors to match furniture 
or draperies. 

The durability of Craftex has been 
proven. 

It has been used for years in many of the 
important homes and buildings of the coun- 
Ly 

On opposite page are shown a few of the 
texture and color effects possible with it. 


One-Coat Craftex 

Craftex (supplied in powder form) is mixed with 
hot water and applied with brush to wall. Textured 
with brush, sponge, trowel, ete. Can be colored 
before application. 


Glaze Coat Craftex 


Made by sizing and glazing the above base coat 
of Craftex. Color is added with the glaze. 


And this in a wall finish which is no less durable than beautiful, 
which is washable, and upon whose textured surface the common 
mishaps which mar the walls of even the best regulated homes 
leave no noticeable impression. 


Finishes 

Innumerable original finishes produced 
by different color and texture combinations. 
Also exact reproductions of Caen stone, 
Travertine, Spanish, Italian and other 
rough plaster effects. 


Surfaces Covered 

Craftex covers not only wood, plaster, metal, glass, 
wall board, masonry and other surfaces successfully, 
but is the one material which will give a uniform 
unbroken wall treatment over a combination of dif- 
ferent surfaces. Saves expense of skim coat plaster 
when apphed direct to brown plaster floated or 
troweled comparatively smooth. 


Advantages 
Craftex gives a permanent, distinctive wall treat- 
ment that harmonizes with any desired color scheme. 


Cost 
We recommend that you employ the services of a 


painter to apply Craftex. Costs will vary according 
to textures desired. 


Service 

The CRAFTEX COMPANY has offices in Boston, 
New York, Chicago, Atlanta, St. Louis and Phila- 
delphia, as well as representatives throughout the 
country. The CRAFTEX COMPANY is ready at all 
times to co-operate with any building contractor in 
working with local painters who may ‘not be familiar 
with Craftex, furnishing samples, detailed instrue- 
tions for securing various finishes, working out spe- 
cial textures, colors, ete.

MORENE — The Wall Finish Distinctive 


Made by 
MORENE PRODUCTS CO., Inc. 


245-247 West 28th Street, New York, N. Y. 


hs 


Living Room in Residence of H. CHILDS HODGEN, Architect, Philadelphia, Pa. 
Walls and ceiling finished in Morene. For a few of the many distinctive wall textures 
obtainable with Morene see next page 


Products 


The products of this company are: Morene—the Wall 
Finish Distinctive’ Kemisol, a colorless liquid waterproof- 
ing for masonry durfaces above grade; and Petrofluid, an 
integral waterproofing for use in cement plaster applied 
to underground construction. Printed matter describing 
any or all of these products will be gladly sent to building 
contractors on request. 


One Material—Many Finishes 

The great utility of Morene to the building contractor 
lies in the fact that with this one material (a Portland 
cement product) it is possible to obtain an infinite variety 
of wall finishes, differing both in texture and color. Thus 
this one finish can be used throughout a house yet every 
room will have an individuality of its own, since Morene 
readily lends itself to the production of various textures 
and tones, including stipples, tapestry effects, sand finishes, 
travertine, caen stone, limestone and unpolished marble. 


Easy to Apply to Any Surface 

Morene is easily and quickly applied, with either brush 
or trowel, to any kind of surface—brown or white plaster, 
wood, metal, old painted surfaces, gypsum or fiber wall- 
boards, ete. In new buildings Morene serves as a finishing 
coat of plaster with complete texture and color effect desired. 


The Wall Finish Distinctive 


Morene is a wall finish composed of Atlas white portland 
cement, sand, asbestos, oils and chemicals, all ingredients 
being so mixed and the oils so emulsified that they remain 
in suspension. It is used chiefly for obtaining interior and 
exterior textured wall finishes, from the plainest to the 
most elaborate, and it will enhance the appearance of 
any type of building, whether it be a residence, apartment 
house, church, hospital, office building, store or bank. 

The selection of Morene as a medium for expressing the 
artist’s skill in the decoration of many fine buildings is 
proof of the unusual effects possible to produce with this 
material. Combining as it does the permanency of concrete 
with the utmost in artistic expression, a casual inspection 
of the distinctive installations accomplished also murals 
executed with the Morene will convince even the most 
skeptical that it has been brought to a point of perfection 


Will Not Check or Crack 


Morene will not crack or check if the structural surface 
to which it is applied remains intact, and it may be 
scrubbed with soap and water without harmful effects. 
Unevenness and defects in the joints of wall boards and 
cracks in plastered walls are easily made invisible. 


A Medium for Artistic Expression 

Those who use Morene quickly acquire a fondness for 
it owing to the fact that in the hands of a skilled work- 
man (or even a novice, only a little experimenting is neces- 
sary to become skillful in its application) Morene becomes 
a medium for the true artistic expression. ; 

The texture obtained by applying it with a brush (like 
paint) differs from that produced by applying it with a 
trowel (like plaster) and starting with either of these 
textures one may produce an inflnite variety of effects by 
the use of the palette knife, or sponge, or by stippling or 
raking the plastic surface with a wire brush. A few of 
these effects are illustrated on next page. 


Colors ; 

Morene is shipped in white only (creamish grey). Oil 
colors are added on the job, so that all colors can be 
produced, from the vivid hues to the most delicate pastel 
shades, two or more colors can be applied following each 
other immediately producing unlimited variety of blended 
effects. 


Cost 


Approximately the same as a good 8-coat paint job for 
the simpler textures and colors. 


Containers and Capacities 

Morene is shipped in % and 1 gallon cans, 5 gallon steel 
pails and 25 and 50-gallon barrels or steel drums. 

The average covering capacity is 50 square feet of wall 
surface to the gallon, the amount of coverage varying 
with the texture desired and the nature of the surface 
to which Morene is applied. 


Directions and Samples on Request 

Full directions for applying Morene so as to produce any 
desired effect. and a sample of the material itself will be 
sent to any building contractor on request.

Textone: 


Economical Rough Textured Walls: Tex- 
tone is a remarkable decorating material 
which makes possible, in homes of average 
cost, the rough textured, richly colored wall 
and ceiling effects that have formerly been 
confined to expensive residences and costly 
public buildings. 


Texture and Color im 
One Application: Textone 
is manufactured as a fine 
powder and is packed in 
convenient 10 and 25-pound 
cartons. Water and pig- 
ment colors, added at the 
job, produce a heavy bodied 
mixture which can _ be 
readily applied with a 
brush. Textone adheres 
perfectly to almost any 
surface—plaster, Sheet- 
rock, wood, glass, card- 
board, etc.,—and, because 
of its unusual consistency, 
one appleation is sufficient for ordinary 
purposes. While still ‘‘tacky’’, Textone can 
be textured with a stippling brush, a whisk 
broom, wadded paper, a sponge, or the 
palm of the hand. 


Unlimited Color Effects: The color 
possibilities of T’extone are practically 
unlimited as tinting is done at the time 
of application. Mottled, stippled, and shaded 
effects can be produced by simple treat- 
ment and the rich colors can be harmonized 
perfectly with furnishings and hangings. 


Authentic Period Designs: Because of 
the ease with which Textone can be tex- 
tured, the individual ideas of the home 
owner can be faithfully reproduced. Mod- 
ern decorating practice, however, demands 
that walls and ceilings shall harmonize with,

and correctly interpret the architectural 
style of the building. Spanish, English, 
Colonial, and other period designs can be 
reproduced in Textone by the ordinary 
painter. 'T’o assist home builders in obtain- 
ing authentic reproductions of these tex- 
tures, the United States Gypsum Company 
has prepared a_ valuable 
book on interior decoration 
which includes panels illus- 
trating popular textures. 
A copy of this book will be 
sent upon request. 


Easy to Use: The white 
Textone is mixed to a stiff, 
pastelike consistency by 
the addition of luke warm 
water. If a one-coat tinted 
finish is desired, pigment 
colors ground in oil or dry 
colors are added to the 
mixed Textone until the 
desired shade or tint is 
reached. _The Textone is 
then applied to the surface in a thick coat 
with a large brush, and the texture is 
worked in with the same brush or by the 
other means mentioned above. One 
coat of Textone is equivalent in cover- 
ing capacity to-three coats of paint. 


Textone Glaze: 'Textone Glaze is a 
specially prepared medium for obtain- 
ing two or more toned effects on Textone 
surfaces. Textone Glaze comes in quart 
and gallon cans with full directions for its 
use printed on the label. The Glaze is 
tinted with pigment colors in oil and is then 
applied to the surface with a brush. It is 
then wiped off or blended into the surface 
with a soft cloth. This process brings out 
beautiful high hight and shadow effects.

“Breinig Built” Varnishes—Enamels—Paints 


The Sieriicance of 
the Trade-Mark 


i eee by three generations of 
Paint and Varnish makers, 
with products manufactured under 
the very latest improved and scien- 
tifically approved methods, this 'Trade-Mark 


has more 
significance than to merely identify the products under 
which it is issued. 


T is a mark of Quality, an assurance of Purity and 
warranty of Satisfaction. 


[? also stands for Honesty, Uniformity, Dependability 
and Responsibility. 


[' is the safeguard of the Architect, General Con- 
tractor, Master Painter or Consumer, as the standard 
of quality wherever it appears on Varnishes, Enamels, 
Paints, Stains or Fillers. 


*“BREINIGBUILT” )| 
Paints & Varnishes] 


Always Insist on the 
“Breinig-Built”” Trade-Mark. 


Regardless of the amount of 
money spent in the construction of 
the home, this is all wasted unless 
finishing products of the highest 
quality are used to not only properly protect each and 
every surface, but to insure beautiful color combinations 
for the exterior and interior, and in the case of Stain 
and Varnish effects, to develop the hidden beauty in 
the wood. 


When you consider that the cost of materials used 
for decoration, represent only 25% of the cost of the 
work, it can readily be seen that it is not economical 
to use inferior products. 

It costs no more to use BREINIG BROTHERS’ 
VARNISHES, ENAMELS AND PAINTS than the 


ordinary finishes to be found on the market. 


AFew of the Products Taken from Our VeryComplete Line Follow: 


Old Masters’ Enamel: 


This enamel is of the high- 
est quality and is suitable for 
either exterior or interior use.

qualities, flows freely, does

dust in six to eight hours, and 
hard in forty-eight hours. 
Will not yellow with age and 
can be washed with soap and 
water. The beautiful finish 
obtained through the use of 
this enamel reflects an atmos- 
phere of cheer and harmony 
to any interior.

sistant to knocks and scratches. Intended for fin- 
ishing outside Doors, Storefronts, Porches, Vestibules, 
Yachts, and all work subjected to continuous and 
extreme weather exposure. 


Elastic Floor 

An especially hard and brilliant product to with- 
stand the grinding abuse to which all floors are sub- 
jected. It is intended for hard or new wood; for 
old or new floors. It is medium in color, spreads with 
remarkable freedom, and will not scratch, spot, ‘or 
show heel marks. Dries hard overnight with a rich 
full gloss, but may be-rubbed to a dull finish if desired. 
Will not turn white. 


Movar 

This is the universal or general purpose varnish. 
Its various properties and characteristics are so bal- 
anced that satisfactory results may be obtained in 
any service in which Movar is employed. Not affected 
by boiling water, alcohol, ether, oil or grease. Equally 
satisfactory for Interior and Exterior use. Combines 
protective impervious properties with extreme 
elasticity. 


Pale Rubbing and Polishing 


For interior use on the finest polished surfaces and 
all cabinet work. Has perfect leveling qualities and 
fills all requirements for a varnish of this nature. 
This varnish is made from especially selected and 
prepared materials to give it good color, heavy body, 
and easy working properties. It can be flowed on with 
a minimum of brushing and will show no sags or 
runs on the finished surface. 


Shingle Stain 

Moore’s Shingle Stains are composed of the best 
wood preservative oils and creosote tinted with pure 
eoloring pigment. The colors are beautiful, rich and 
permanent, producing soft artistic effects, which pre- 
serve as well as beautify the wood. As the stain 
penetrates the shingles, it fills the pores, rendering the 
surface proof against decay, rot and the boring of 
insects. 

Shingle Stains are more economical to apply and 
more artistic than paint and can be appled quickly 
either by dipping, brushing or spraying. These stains 
do not hide the grain of the wood, but bring it out 
and intensify its beauty. Made in twelve natural 
colors. Recommended also for finishing and preserv- 
ing clapboards, siding and exterior woodwork, where 
a quick, economical and artistic appearance is desired.

Build for Beauty and Permanence 


Realizing a long-cherished ambition—that is what 
the home you are about to build means to you. For 
the great majority of men and women the opportunity 
to build their own houses—determining every part 
of the construction from cellar to 
attic—comes but once in a lifetime. 

Since it is to shelter you and your 
family for years to come, build it for 
permanence—build it for beauty. As 
you plan each detail of the construc- 
tion and finish, ask yourself this question: ‘‘ How will 
this look a year from now? Five years from now? 
Ten years from now?”’ 


¥ 


For True Economy—Valspar 


The factor of economy will have to enter into your 
decision, of course. But wear is the paramount con- 
sideration. No matter how promising the cheaper 
materials may appear to you, you’ll find abiding 
satisfaction only in the better grades because of their 
durability, quality and long wear. 


This is particularly true of the paint and varnish 
you choose. So much of the beauty and luxurious 
effect that you want your house to have depends 
upon the style in which it is finished. Not only that 
—a good sturdy finish can add years to the life of the 
metal and woodwork it protects. 


In painting and varnishing, labor is always the 
biggest item. So why not use the best materials and get 
longer wear and greater beauty for the same expendi- 
ture of labor? It is ordinary building common sense, 
then, to use varnish of the best quality for the greater 
service and good looks it affords. Also, you will find 
the quality product far more economical in the long 
run. The initial cost may be greater, 
but the long hfe of quality materials 
reduces refinishing costs to a mini- 
mum, 


Valspar for Long Satisfaction 


No finish will give you finer lustre 
and longer service than Valspar. For 
Valspar is the one finish on the mar- 
ket that is absolutely waterproof. 
Other varnishes are advertised as 
waterproof and they may, it is true, 
withstand temporary exposure to 
water. But given enough time or a 
severe enough test, they will discolor

and whiten. Valspar, however, can be exposed to 
the action of water, boiling hot or icy cold, for 
months, even years, without harm. 

And because of this absolute waterproofness, com- 
bined with remarkable toughness and 
elasticity, Valspar resists wear and 
hard knocks to a degree unequalled 
by any other varnish. This unusual 
durability is the secret of Valspar’s 
great economy and Valspar adds to 
the appearance of the home by making it bright and 
attractive for it enhances the beauty of any surface 
and keeps it beautiful. 


Valspar in Colors 

You can get Valspar in any color by asking for 
Valspar Varnish-Stains and Valspar-Enamels. Both 
Valspar Varnish-Stains and Enamels have the same 
absolutely waterproof and long wearing qualities as 
clear Valspar, for they are Valspar Varnish itself with 
colors added. 

For all wood and metal work, inside or outside the 
house, use Valspar or Valspar in colors if you desire 
a finish of lustrous smoothness, elasticity, durability 
and waterproofness. You are building for perma- 
nence when you use Valspar.

Valspar—the varnish that won’t turn white 


Boiling water from a leaky radiator cannot hurt a 
Valsparred floor! Mop up the overflow and the wood- 
work will be found as smooth and lustrous, as free 
from any discoloration or whitening as if the accident 
had never happened. 


In fact, Valspar is the one varnish that can truly be 
called ‘‘accident-proof.’’ Strong alkaline soaps and 
washing powders, ammonia, hot grease, oil—make no 


Only One Valspar 


No other varnish at all resembles 
Valspar. It is a unique invention 
which has never been approached by 
any other varnish although other 
manufacturers have tried for years 
to produce a finish that would equal 
Valspar in waterproofness and all-

Other Valspar Advantages 

Valspar possesses many other merits besides water- 
proofness. It is unusually smooth and brillant in 
lustre. It is extremely elastic and will not scratch 
easily—hence retains its fine appearance long after 
other varnishes have grown shabby and dull. Dries 
very rapidly—dust free in 4 hours, hard in 24. And 
it is so durable, so wear-resistant that the service and 
protection it gives are truly remarkable. 


Test after test has proved that 
this happy combination of ad- 
vantages makes Valspar the one 
best varnish for all purposes, 
both inside the house and out- 
side.

impression on a Valsparred surface. Rain, snow and 
ice, sudden changes of temperature—none of these can 
injure Valspar in the slightest. 


It is precisely this accident-proof quality that 
makes Valspar the ideal finish for household use. 
Where wood and metal are protected by this in- 
eredibly tough, yet handsome finish, the householder 
is free from upkeep expense and worries.

For a Beautiful, Dull Finish 
Some people prefer to have a dull finish for their 
woodwork. 


With Valspar, it is easy to rub the original mirror- 
like gloss to an attractive satin finish, if desired. This 
finish is in every way as durable and waterproof as 
the natural finish. 


Where to Use Valspar 

Valspar is unequalled for all wood 
or metal work, inside the house or 
out. On floors, walls, trim, doors 
and porches, it gives lasting protec- 
tion and satisfaction. And in the 
kitchen, laundry and bathroom, par- 
ticularly, you will appreciate the _,Vawsrar, Protects | 
absolute waterproofness that Val- Lanolgum 
spar alone can give. Wherever you want varnish, 
use Valspar. 


Valspar covers about 450 sq. 
ft. to a gallon one flowing coat. 
It costs a little more than or- 
dinary varnishes, but the slight 
additional cost is more than offset 
by the far greater service it gives.

use Valspar Varnish-Stains. 


Valspar Varnish-Stains are Val- 
spar itself combined with the finest 
transparent wood colors—Mahog- 
any, Light Oak, Dark Oak, Wal- 
nut, Cherry and Moss Green. They 
enable you to apply both varnish 
and stain with one stroke of the 
brush, saving you the bother of 
applying a coat of stain, waiting 
for it to dry, then putting on the varnish. 


Waterproof, Dur-

Because Valspar Varnish-Stains are colored Valspar, 
you will find this finish every bit as serviceable out- 
doors as it is indoors. For Valspar Varnish-Stains 
withstand every test of durability and weatherproof- 
ness that Clear Valspar stands. They will not fade 
in sunlight. Acids, alkalies, and ammonia will not 
mar their color or lustre. And they will not turn 
white in water, no matter what the temperature of 
the water or how long exposed.

Where to Use Valspar 
Varnish-Stains 


Valspar Varnish-Stains are a 
safe, convenient and _ beautiful 
finish for all woodwork, whether old or new, indoors 
or out. For example, use them on your front door to 
keep it always bright and shining; on your floors 
to insure a beautiful permanent finish that will stand 
up under the heaviest traffic; on your ice box—to 
keep the woodwork from warping and cracking; on 
old furniture—to restore the original beauty of color 
and lustre and bring every piece into harmony with 
the general color scheme; on window sills, porch 
furniture and drain boards, wainscoatings, closet 

shelves. 


In short, use Valspar Varnish- 
Stains on wood and metal work 
of all kinds, wherever you want 
beautiful, natural wood colors 
combined with lustrous, durable, 
waterproof protection.

WE MAKE REFRIGERATORS—NOTHING ELSE. We spe- 
cialize in refrigeration—have done so for 34 years. We believe 
that our Automatic Refrigerators are the best that money can 
buy—you would expect us to say that—but let us give you con- 
vineing proof. 


The ‘‘Double Duty” Feature 


There is no wasteful chipping of ice for cool drinks in homes 
where Automatic Double Duty Refrigerators are used. A 
plentiful supply of ice-cold water is always on hand, and there 
is no additional expense for ice and no space taken from the 
refrigerator. The porcelain lined Cooler Tank, illustrated at 
right, fits into the partition between the ice chamber and the 
upper food chambers and an inverted water bottle on top of the 
refrigerator (see illustration below) serves as a water reservoir. 
A tap projecting from the front of the refrigerator furnishes 
Cold Water on the instant. Automatic Refrigerators are fur- 
nished with, or without, Water Cooler, but the Double Duty 
Type is generally preferred because of the convenience of having 
pure, cool, drinking water always on tap. 


A Complete Line 


Our Illustrated Catalog, a copy of which we will be glad to 
mail you on request, will convince you that you do not have 
to go outside of the Illinois Refrigerator Company’s line to get 
any type of refrigerator you desire. 

We make refrigerators enamel lined and porcelain lined— 
refrigerators designed for front, side or rear icing—refrigerators 
with Water Cooler or without. We gladly furnish complete blue 
prints showing size of the rear doors and end doors; also the 
proper sizes for the opening to make in the wall of your home. 
Automatics of all sizes can be used with iceless refrigeration 
units. We place four supports in the top of the ice chamber 
permanently to support that part of the unit.

McCray Refrigerators for Residences 


McCRAY REFRIGERATOR SALES CORPORATION 
Dept. B-55, Kendallville, Indiana 


Salesrooms in All Principal Cities (See telephone directories) 


McCray refrigerators for residences are distin- 
guished by thorough, efficient and enduring service as 
well as extraordinary beauty, both exterior and in- 
terior. The same high type of McCray refrigerator 
service which is the standard of quality in hospitals, 
hotels, institutions, grocery stores and markets, is 
available for the home in a series of residence models 
of various sizes, some of which are illustrated and 
described on this and following pages. All McCray 
refrigerators are sold under the guarantee that each 
refrigerator must be exactly as represented or the 
purchase price and freight charges will be refunded. 


Quarter-sawed Oak Exterior 


Notice the handsome exterior appearance of the 
McCray porcelain-lned residence models illustrated 
here. The case is made of five-ply laminated wood 
with quarter sawed oak exterior. Both ends are 
flush with flush doors. Panels in the doors are set in 
solid oak. 


Interior of One-Piece Porcelain 


The interior is one piece of porcelain. In all com- 
partments there are no cracks or crevices and the cor- 
ners are coved which makes cleaning easy. The in- 
terior lining is made of heavy Armco ingot iron 
welded into one piece on which the porcelain is fused 
at the terrific heat of about 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. 


This illustration shows the exterior of the McCray Residence Refrig- 
erator No. 360, regarded as the finest appearing refrigerator on the 
market. Its efficient service matches this handsome appearance. 


This snow-white porcelain not only covers the storage compartment but 
also the interior of the storage doors. 


All McCrays May Be Used with Machine 


All McCray refrigerators can be readily adapted for use with mechani- 
cal refrigeration when desired. 


At the right is shown the McCray No. 360 as we supply it with base 
for use with machine refrigeration. If the machine is installed in the 
basement the base shown here is unnecessary. 


White Enamel Line Less Expensive 


The white-enamel-lined McCray residence refrigerators afford efficient 
service at less expense. The lining is of metal to which is applied three 
coats of white enamel, making a sanitary and attractive interior. The ex- 
terior is of furniture oak. 


The outside icing door may be had with any McCray model, if desired. 
This convenient feature was orginated and developed by McCray.

Kelvinator Electric Refrigeration 


Manufactured by 


KELVINATOR CORPORATION 
DETROIT, MICHIGAN 


Two Important Features The Condenser and Compressor 


Two features of Kelvinator, the ee a 


oldest domestic electric refrigera- Faia ————— (See illustration below) 
tion, are of exceptional interest to 3 


Pree idercior owners This is the mechanism that is 


First—the Kelvinator line is com- 
plete. Standard units are carried 
in stock everywhere for either small 
‘or large household refrigerators. 
The self-contained unit—Kelvin-et 
—combines both Kelvinator and re- 
frigerator, all in one, the only’ in- 
stallation required being an electric 
connection. 


Second—Kelvinator is made by 
the pioneer manufacturer and is the 
oldest product of its kind. It has 
years of public approval behind it. 
Installations made from five to ten 
years ago are as efficient now as ever. 


A Typical Kelvinator Installation 


Kelvinator consists of two parts. The first is the 
freezing unit that fits inside the ice compartment of 
the refrigerator. The second is a motor driyen com- 
pressor and condenser that usually goes in the base- 
ment but can be installed in any convenient place. 

These two units are connected by two tubes through 
which the refrigerant passes. A thermostat on the 
freezing unit regulates the temperature, automatically 
starting the compressor when the temperature in the 
refrigerator rises, stopping it when the proper tempera- 
ture is attained. 


The Freezing Unit 


The freezing unit is placed in the ice compartment. 

Freezing units are made in twelve sizes and shapes, 
there being a model for every standard make of re- 
frigerator. Specially designed units are also availiable, 
being made to order. 


Kelvinator Freezes Cubes of Ice 


The trays in the freezing unit can 
be filled with water and cubes of 
pure ice will be frozen for chilling 
beverages or other table purposes. 
These trays can be used for making 
frozen desserts, salads, frappes, 


chilled fruits and many cther delica- 


found in the basement or any other 
convenient place and which supplies 
the freezing unit with a cold pro- 
ducing refrigerant. ‘The condenser 
consists of a coil of one-half inch 
seamless copper 


spirally in a rectangular shape and 


tubing wound 
is air cooled. The compressor is of 
the reciprocating type having one 
cylinder for the smaller models and 
two cylinders for the larger models. 
It is driven by a V-belt with no idler. 


Temperature Control 


The temperature of the refrigerator is automatically 
regulated by a thermostat and expansion valve which 
have been developed by Kelvinator and refined over a 
period of years. It is the most accurate and durable 
device of its kind made, and constitutes an important 


Kelvinator feature. 


The Kelvin-et 


The Kelvin-et, selling for $250, F. O. B. Detroit, is 
a self-contained refrigerating system combining Kel- 
vinator and refrigerator all in one. The compressor 
and condenser are in the base of the cabinet. The 
Kelvin-et is designed for small families living in apart- 
ments or in small homes where space is a consideration. 


Responsibility 


Kelvinator is made by a long es- 
tablished manufacturer and sold by 
the best dealers in every community. 
Each dealer has a factory trained 
service man and is in a position to 
render prompt and immediate serv- 


ice on every Kelvinator he installs.

Don’t you know that the same sun and rain which 
cause depreciation of your buildings is the very life of 
trees and plants, and cause them to depreciate in value 
from year to year? No matter, whether the house you 
build is for your personal use; or to be rented or sold; a 
proper planting about it increases its desirability as a 
place to live and thus is an asset in making it a home; 
an aid in renting and a help in selling.

A MESSAGE TO HOME BUILDERS— (Continued) 


A new house of excellent archi- 
tecture, but note how harsh, how stiff 
—how cold and unwelcome with no 
expression of comfort or restfulness! 
Merely a good house. Note the great 
transformation shown in cut below 
after planting. 


Our Architects Work With You—yYour Preferences Are Considered 


In this way by working together, we can give you an unexcelled service, as each and every one of our 
designers is a graduate Landscape Architect, whose entire time is devoted to studying tree, plant and shrub, 
and how they should be placed in relation to each other and with the house to properly accentuate its beauty 
and to cover its defects should there be any. 


Where are the stiff harsh lines? 
Isn’t this more appealing, more beau- 
tiful, more home-like and more rest- 
ful? Imagine yourself seated on the 
porch in No. 1 and then contrast it 
in your mind with sitting on the 
porch after planting in No. 2! You 
are now in a real home. You ean fully 
relax and be proud of the opinion of 
those who pass your place.

We Give Personal Service 


The service we give you is per- 
sonal. We can handle small jobs by 
mail as effectively as if we were 
with you on the grounds in person. 
The requirements are simply these: 
You locate the house on the lot with 
distances from front, sides and rear 
lot line on especially prepared paper 
we furnish you for the purpose and 
upon which is plainly stated the de- 
tails and data we must have to pro- 
ceed. In addition to this you must 
send snapshots or photographs taken 
from the front, sides and rear, and 
we will then go ahead and submit 
you a pencil sketch for your consid- 
eration.

as a home and much beauty 


We Consider No Sale Complete 
Unless You Are Satisfied 


Our service will always be satis- 
factory because of the skill and ex- 
perience of our Architects and be- 
cause we consider no sale complete 
unless you are satisfied. 


We can satisfy you, too, and the 
cost is very low when it is not neces- 
sary to send an Architect to personally 
inspect, measure and study the loca- 
tion. 


We at. all times value your sugges- 
tions and a statement as to prefer- 
ences should be sent in with the meas- 
urements and photographs. 


Here is shown the small house above two years after planting, the cost of which was $20.00.

A MESSAGE TO HOME BUILDERS— (Continued) 


The house is built, but does it look 
or feel like home? Isn’t it as Luther 
Burbank says ‘‘Merely a dry goods 
box?’’? The dormant shrubs and 
plants heeled in as shown in the piec- 
ture represent a rather small sum of 
money, yet note the transformation 
after planting below. 


We Make It Possible for You to Get Our Service Without Cost 


We furnish complete plans and specifications—the plan drawn to scale and the exact spot each tree, shrub and plant should 
be placed as indicated so that you can plant them yourself if you wish to do so. 


Full instructions on how to plant and care for the stock goes forward with the plans and specifications. For these plans, 
etc., we make a small service charge should you decide not to buy the stock from us. The scale of charges for plans, ete., if 
order is not placed will be given you if you are interested. 


But you get our service, experience and skill in design without any cost whatsoever when order is placed with us. 


We are at your service, and would be pleased to go into details with you when you are ready to consider the beautification 
of your home, 


What a small. expenditure has 
yielded in beauty and enhanced value 
of property is shown by this cut! It 
has now been truly converted into 
comfortable living quarters. Then, 
too, there is a great amount of pleas- 
ure in watching the development of 
plants and trees. Flowers for the 
table in great abundance—the joys 
and bliss of a new home fully 
realized.

Levels for Building Contractors 

A good Level will-pay for itself many times over in the 
course of one building season. With it you can determine 
accurately the rise and fall of the ground before leveling, 
or excavating, for foundations, eliminating all guess work 
as to the number of cubie yards of earth to be moved. 

You can run lines that are absolutely true and can verify 
in a moment the corrections of all angles. You can plumb 
walls and use it for laying out ditches, drains and roadways. 
In short, you will find use for a good Level a dozen times 
a day. 

These Simplex Levels of ours do not require engineering 
knowledge on the part of the user. The simple directions 
that accompany them will enable one of your workmen 
to use a Simplex Lével with perfect accuracy. All danger 
of error is eliminated when you use a scientific instrument 
to level ground and plumb walls. You will find a Simplex 
Level one of the best investments you ever made. Prices 
from $25 to $90.

Everite Blue Print Paper 


The trouble with most Blue Print Paper is that it rapidly 
deteriorates, particularly in hot weather. ‘“Iverite” is the 
one paper you can rely on to be as good in six months or 
a year as the day you bought it. We experimented with 
an infinite number of formulas before we hit upon the 
combination of chemicals used in coating “Everite.” But 
it was worth the trouble and expense. 

“Everite” is the blue-print paper you can rely on—abso- 
lutely. It is practically impervious to heat and moisture 
and consequently can be carried in stock for months, in 
any climate, without serious impairment of its excellent 
reproducing qualities. It not only gives sharper detail and 
better contrast, but positively aill not fade, if sufficiently 
washed. 


Everite Blue Print Paper is made in three weighs: 


No. 70-—-THIN 
No. 110—MEDIUM 
No. 125—THICK 


and is coated for three printing speeds: 


R—Rapid Printing for sun, or slow electric printing 

X—HExtra Rapid Printing, the grade used by the 
majority of consumers 

XX—Double Extra Rapid Printing, an exceptionally 
fast paper. 


We shall be glad to send you on request a 2-yard working

Ajax Folding Metal Sheathing and Roofing Brackets are 
used to apply both Sheathing Boards and Roofing Materials. 


The most sensationally popular Bracket Equipment ever 
offered for roof work, in the United States. Patented Feb- 
ruary 2, 1915, nearly every carpenter and roofer approached 
wants to try the “AJAX” because it appears to be his idea 
of a practical roof staging. 


Two-Fold Use 


Carpenters use Ajax Brackets, first to apply the sheath- 
ing boards to rafters; then, to apply roofing materials to 
sheathing boards. 


Roofers use Ajax Brackets to apply all sizes Slate, Tile, 
Asbestos, Asphalt, Metal and Wood Shingles, etc.

metal and all the die-cut stamped parts are scientifically 
riveted together. Boards or planks up to 12 inches wide 
can be used thereon. GUARANTEED to carry any weight 
the workmen may pile on. 


How Used 


Instantly Adjustable to any pitch roof. Ajax Brackets 
lock, with a Sliding Lock, into notched strips in open 
position ready for use. (See illustration).

THE QUICKEST EVER, AND SAFE ASTHE EARTH UNDER YOUR FEET 


To Apply Roofing Materials drive one or more supporting 
nails into notches of extending Nail Strip. (See illustra- 
tion). 


Place Brackets six to eight feet apart on roofing laid from 
cornice upward, so their upper end will be one inch or 
more below the butt of next course of roofing to be laid 
over extending Nail Strip; this will allow for unhooking. 
(To apply SPANISH TILE drive supporting nails into four

mediately below heel of nail strip; then push upwards to 
unhook and pull from beneath roofing course.

wasteful in time and materials, and is extremely dangerous. 


Ajax Brackets, attached as the sheathing or roofing work 
advances, afford speed and safety.

Ajax Brackets fold compactly for convenient handling 
and storing in specially made crates. Each crate contains 
the minimum equipment of one dozen Brackets.

“Reliable” Scaffold Brackets 


Made by 


ELITE MANUFACTURING CO. 


Ashland, Ohio 


“Reliable” Brackets will carry your heaviest loads in safety. The heavier the load placed on them the firmer they brace against the building. 
They are the best sort of insurance against accident to your workers. 


Products: 


This company makes ‘Reliable’ brackets for supporting 
staging used in building construction. They are made in various 
types and sizes for different classes of work and fold compactly 
when not in use for easy transportation and storage. Carefully 
built of heavy steel and pipe they last for years with proper 
care. They save time and lumber when erecting scaffolding. 
Sold on the satisfaction-guaranteed-or-money-back basis. Also 
make the old “Hook Style” bracket but recommend bracket 
illustrated on account of its greater convenience, wider useful- 
ness and satisfaction. Send for literature. 


Reliable Scaffold Bracket: 


This bracket is easily and quickly 
hung, a hammer and four nails being 
the only things necessary. There is no 
loss of time nor waste of lumber. Drive 
four nails so that heads project about 
half an inch from studding at about 
a 45 degree angle. Hang brackets with 
nails through countersunk slots near 
top. They seat securely withont side- 
sway or wobble. The clutch grips the 
long slanting pipe securely without slip- 
page. The heavier the load the tighter 
they grip. To remove bracket simply 
lift off from nails and drive them home 
—no holes to plug. Use on stucco, brick 
veneer, or any construction equally well. 
Two sizes—3 and 4 feet long. Weights, 
18 and 25 pounds. 


Reliable Roofing 
Bracket: 


This is made on the same 
principal as bracket above 
with necessary changes in 
construction for roof work. 
It is adjustable to any pitci 
of roof, folds compactly for 
transportation or _ storage. 
Weighs 13 pounds.’ We also 
make the “Roofer’’ a one- 
pound iron with countersunk 
nail slot at upper end and 
U-bend at lower end—a 
handy little tool for small 
jobs and light work. 


Reliable Corner Bracket: 


This was developed to take the place 
of two regular Scaffold Brackets as it 
has sufficient spread to attach to 
studding or wall on either side. Note 
the different method of attaching, 
using eight nails instead of four. 
Some builders prefer this type for 
corners while others use our regular 
type of bracket one on either side 
near corner. Hither method is good. 
Length 4 feet; weight 20 pounds. 
Folds compactly. 


{| 1 , Reliable 
q VA Ladder 


Bracket: 

This fills the demand for a real 
ladder bracket. Can be hung on in- 
side or outside of ladder. The deep 
hooks lock it securely into place and 
it is adjustable to any angle. Folds 
when not in use. Weight 14 pounds. 
Sold by the pair. 


Reliable Trestle Bracket: 


Fills a long-felt want for an ad- 
justable trestle. Height and length 
of trestle only limited by length 
of timber used. Attaches quickly 
and securely. Disassembles  in- 
stantly and packs compactly for 
transfering to another job. Made 
of malleable iron. Sold in sets of 
four. Sets weigh 35 pounds.

Dandie Light Mixer: 


The Dandie is a dependable light mixer 
of staunch construction, and exceptionally 
fast operation in getting materials into and 
out of the mixing drum. It is designed 
to serve the contractor in all concrete work 
where a mixer of one bag capacity is the 
desired size. 

KXoehring speed in charging and dischare- 
ing increases the number of batches per 
day, giving an additional profit-margin. 
One-man control allows one man, without 
leaving his position, to raise the charging 
skip by operating the clutch with one hand 
and to discharge a batch of conerete with 
his other hand. This arrangement elimi- 
nates an extra man and in addition permits 
faster operation through centralized control. 

In foundation work and footings, pour- 
ing walls, floors, and sidewalks, where each 
job is short and frequent moves are nec- 
essary, the Dandie again makes a big sav- 
ing in time. With rubber tires, disc wheels 
and three point suspension type of front 
axle, it is easily and quickly moved. Just 
hitch the Dandie to your ear or truck and 
you are soon ready for the next job.

The gears of the power transmission unit are com- 
pletely enclosed and operate in oil. The combina- 
tion flexible coupling and dise clutch, which are con- 
nected to a chrome nickel steel worm shaft, are other 
units designed for long service life. 


Dandie One Bag Mixer with High Speed Charging Skip 


The channel frame of pressed steel has four cross 
members and two auxiliary members in addition to 
the side channels. 

The mixing drum, which is built to give the Koeh- 
ring re-mixing action, is a narrow type with large 
diameter and double gear drive, providing a fast dis- 
charge. 

Long bearings between the drum rollers assure ease 
in operation and eliminate unnecessary wear. 

Pressed steel disc wheels with rubber tires aid 
the contractor to speed up his work. Attached to a 
truck, the Dandie moves quickly and easily to the 
next job. 

The four cylinder, radiator cooled Universal engine, 
is designed for heavy duty, yet it is flexible and - 
smooth in operation. Positive ignition at slow crank- 
ing speed and improved ecarburetion makes this motor 
easy to start. The two cylinder hopper cooled Fuller 
& Johnson engine or an electric motor can be fur- 
nished on the Dandie, if desired. 

According to your needs, either a power charging 
skip or a low charging hopper with platform for 
charging the mixing drum direct with wheelbarrows, 
may be furnished. 

For light hoisting, a hoist of five hundred pounds 
lifting capacity can be built on the main frame.

The “AMERICAN UNIVERSAL” Floor Surfacing Machine 


Manufactured by 


THE AMERICAN FLOOR SURFACING MACHINE COMPANY 


516 So. St. Clair St., Toledo, Ohio 


The ‘‘American Universal’’ electrically driven floor surfacing 
machine renders superior service to the contractor-builder interested 
in lower labor costs and better working conditions for his men. 
This fact is proven daily by thousands of contractors and builders 
all over the United States who have bought an ‘‘American Univer- 


sal’’ to do the work once required of the carpenter—hand scraping 
floors. 


This machine, the result of twenty years manufacturing endeavor; 
simple in its construction, and requiring no previous experience to 
operate, will do the work of six men scraping floors by hand, and 
it will do it better, faster and more efficiently. It can be used on 
any floor from a cottage to the largest auditorium. 


Floors as Smooth as Table-Top 


The capacity of the ‘‘American Universal?’ depends to a very 
large extent on the condition of the floor to be surfaced and how 


fine a finish is required. It will surface any floor down as smooth 
as a table top. 


The machine leaves the job clean, for a vacuum fan deposits all 
dust and dirt, and other particles in the bag furnished. By sub- 
stituting a piece of old carpet for the garnet, or sandpaper, on the 
drum, a polish as smooth as glass can be produced on waxed floors. 


The machine, being mounted on three truck 
wheels, responds to any and all irregularities of the 
floor, the pressure of the sanding drum being con- 
trolled entirely by the control lever and the American 
i | Automatic sustaining device. These two features 
UN Fd || i makes possible the high grade of work, free from 

i enn b > sander waves, vibration marks and imperfections of 


any kind, for which the ‘‘American Universal?’ is 
so well-known, 


Not only will it surface new floors, 
but it will resurface old floors as well, 
removing varnish, paint, shellac, wax, 
etc., making them like new. It will 
level all warped and rough edges of 
the flooring and give any floor, no mat- 
ter what kind of material, a new, bright 
and smooth appearance.

sander drum is too short to make a_ satisfactory

“The upkeep cost of an “American Universal’ is proportionately low. In its making, the world’s 
largest exclusive manufacturer of surfacing machines has employed workmanship and materials that enable 
it to deliver years of low-cost efficiency. It is strong. simple and sturdy. It is easily looked after. The 
number of parts is surprisingly small. It has no mechanical intricacies. Give it the care and attention 
you give to your saws and it will prove its worth for years to come. 


No Expert Operator Needed 

A turn of the electric switch and it is ready to make contracting’s hardest task the easiest 
and most economical job. No expert operator needed! The most inexperienced workman can 
obtain first-class results. The machine does the work, not the man—he merely steers it. 
Think what this means when floor mechanics are scarce and wages are high! No worry! 
No loss of time! No sacrifice of profits! With an “American Universal’ at hand one phase 
of your labor problem is solved for all time to come.

A Week’s Work in One Day 


Electric Rotary Machine 
Sandpapering Disc 


The Electric Ro- 
tary Machine 
can be used not 
only for sanding 
wood floors when 
an exceptionally high fin- 
ish is desired, but also for 
surfacing and polishing 
Marble, Terrazzo, ete., waxing 
. and polishing, scrubbing as 
™ ? well as for every other kind of 

F floor work by simply putting 
on a different attachment. Our 
special flexible shaft attach- 
ment for covebase, wainscoting, 
sidewalls, stairs, etc., is one of the exclusive 
features of this time and labor saving machine. 


14 Inches in 
Diameter 


With the FREE-O-DUST Super Surfacer floor surfacing 
can easily be handled at the rate of ‘‘a week’s work in one 
day.’’ In other words, you save the wages of from six to 
eight men completing your job quicker and at the same time 
the machine will do much better work than could be done 
by hand. 

This machine has a number of exclusive features, among 
the most important being that every particle of dust is col- 
lected on the forward movement as well as on the backward 
movement, and that the machine can be operated right up 
to the baseboard. 


The no-dust-feature is of particular importance when resurfacing 
old floors in buildings that are occupied. Even when surfacing new 
floors it is, however, a great advantage because it protects the health 
of the operator by preventing him from inhaling the poisonous sub- 
stances that often accumulate in wood flooring. 

It does faster and better work. Easy to operate. Pressure on drum 
automatic and drum ean be locked to any pressure desired. 

It will pay for itself on the first few jobs, and is sold on an un- 
conditional five days free trial. Write for particulars.

Use Your Ford for More than 
Transportation—Make it Work

It was a builder, facing the keenest kind of com- 
petition, who first conceived the Jaeger Portable Wood- 
worker, for he recognized that a Portable Power Saw 
would give him a big advantage, providing it didn’t 
represent too much of an investment. For power he 
used his Ford, eliminating an expensive electric motor 
or stationary gasoline engine. Then he made the saw 
rig as light as possible so that it could be easily put 
on or taken off by one man. 


As a matter of fact it is not necessary to detach 
the Woodworker to drive the Ford, so you can move 
around on the job with the Woodworker ready for 
instant use. When you quit at night the Woodworker 
can be detached in a moment and as readily attached

Saves 20% On Framing Costs 


No argument is needed to convince you that a Power 
Saw like that illustrated above will enable you to make 
big savings on any job—20% is a low estimate. 

One contractor, erecting 40 small frame houses, 
claims that the Jaeger Portable Woodworker saved him 
$50 a day. Another, on an apartment house job, did 
all of the sawing for 60 carpenters with a Jaeger. 


Does Every Kind of Work 


Cuts compound angles—rips quickly and easily—cuts 
studding, joists, rafters, ship-lap, bridging, cornices, 
ete. One man with a Jaeger Portable Woodworker, can 
cut enough lumber to keep a large crew of carpenters 
busy framing. ‘ 

With this machine you can underbid anyone who 
sticks to the old, expensive, time-wasting and costly 
hand methods, and still make bigger profits than you 
ever made before. .

Koehring No. 1 Shovel 3%4 Yd. Dipper 


Koehring Heavy Duty Gasoline Shovels 


In excavation work, digging cellars and basements, 
the Koehring shovel has proved its profit-making 
value through better design and heavy duty construe- 
tion, providing greater adaptability, greater capacity, 
and longer service life. 

With short boom and long dipper sticks, it has the 
advantage of being able to work in close quarters with 
low head room, yet having long reach and high lift, 
as the operator can easily crowd the dipper out be- 
yond and above the end of the boom. 


In addition to its adaptability to excavation work, 
the Koehring shovel is powerful and moves easily. 
The self-cleaning type multiplanes have a large bear- 
ing surface which provides steady tractive power. 

Long-run economy results from strict adherence to 
the policy of building a better machine with the aid 
of the contractor. Such constant development has 
brought several distinctive features to the Koehring 
shovel. 


Finger-Tip Control 

Finger-tip control, made possible- by Koehring 
double equalizing outside band friction clutches, pro- 
vides operating ease, speed, and an accurate control 
for the operator, giving him the necessary ‘‘feel’’ of 
the work. 


Crowding Action Above and Beyond End of Boom 

For digging low and loading high, a smooth cable 
crowding. action enables the operator to crowd the 
dipper out beyond and above the end of the boom. 
This action is an entirely separate and independent 
function, operated at the touch of a lever. The dipper 
may also be racked in close to the multiplanes. 


Boom Hoist 


Frequently in excavation work it is necessary to change the 
angle of the boom. To accomplish this the operator merely 
shifts a lever and the boom is raised or lowered to the proper 
position.

building contractor like Home Builders Catalog 


to aid you in selecting the most suitable materials 

for the homes you build and equipping them with 
those modern refinements and conveniences that mean 
so much to your customers. The hundreds of beau- 
tiful illustrations are of homes actually bwilt. The 
floor plans are in many cases unique, striking exam- 
ples of combining the maximum of home comforts 
with minimum space requirements. The Manufac- 
turers’ Section is a never-failing source of imnforma- 
tion and inspiration, containing as it does authentic 
data on every conceivable kind of building material 
and home equipment. 

Hundreds of leading manufacturers have adopted 
HOME BUILDERS CATALOG as a means of pre- 
senting the merits of their products to prospective 
home owners through the building contractor. This 
great co-operative catalog takes the place of thousands 
of individual catalogs, giving you in one great refer- 
ence work every bit of information you need to show 
your customer each detail of the house you propose 
to build for him. 


Backed By Real Service 

The Plan Service suppled by the HOME BUILD- 
ERS CATALOG CO. (described on pages 518-520) is 
complete, comprising working blue-print plans of 
every house and garage illustrated, together with ma- 
terial listing guide, and complete specifications and 
legal contract forms. 

The use of this service insures accuracy and econ- 
omy in construction, estimates free from errors, and 2. 
thoroughly satisfied customer because nothing is left 
to the imagination. Every detail of his home as it 
will appear when finished can be shown him in ad- 
vance in HOME BUILDERS CATALOG. 

You will find yourself constantly referring to 
HOME BUILDERS CATALOG and never will you 
look to it for aid in vain. 


Homes for the Millions 


The homes illustrated in HOME BUILDERS 
CATALOG are the last word in up-to-date style and 
convenience, yet so perfectly are they designed that 
not an unnecessary dollar of expense is incurred. The 
price range is from $3,500 to $15,000, covering the 
needs of the great middle-class of home builders. 
Ninety per cent of all the homes built in this country 
fall within these price limits. 

Careful attention has been paid to those details of 
design and construction that give distinction, charm 
and convenience to the home—such things, for in- 
stance, as big, bright living rooms with open fire 
places; conveniently arranged kitchens with built-in 
features; breakfast nooks, sun parlors; sleeping 
porches, bed closets for concealed beds, ete. 


Hundreds of Ideas for Our Home Builders 


The Manufacturers’ Section of HOME BUILDERS 
CATALOG is the most comprehensive exhibit of

the homes you build for them. As a means of raising 
the standard of customer appreciation of better homes 
you can have no more potent aid than HOME 
BUILDERS CATALOG. 


A Style Show of Homes 


Many illustrations of houses in the ever-popular 
American Colonial and Dutch Colonial styles are in-’ 
cluded in HOME BUILDERS CATALOG — some 
strictly authentic, while others show modern modifi- 
cations of these styles. With this great reference book 
to aid you you can quickly determine the type of 
house that will most be satisfactory to your customer. 

Remember that each house shown has actually been 
built. All illustrations are from photographs of the 
completed house, a more convincing presentation than 
is possible when the customer must imagine how the 
house will look from the blue.print drawings. 


Creates Desire for Better Homes 


The live, wide-awake contractor who uses HOME 
BUILDERS CATALOG to illustrate to prospective 
home builders not only the various styles of houses 
but the particular types of materials he proposes to 
use in each part of the house will find it easier to 
arrive at a perfect understanding when his customer 
is able to visualize what he is going to get for his 
money. 

To the average man or woman the construction of 
a house is somewhat of a mystery, which is why they 
often buy an old house instead of building a new one 
for themselves. The old house may not be exactly 
what they want but, at any rate, it is something tan- 
gible—they know what they are getting—while they 
find it difficult to picture to themselves the home you 
propose to build for them, with nothing but the blue- 
print plans to illustrate it. 

But with HOME BUILDERS CATALOG to aid 
You can show your 
customer just how the house you propose to build for 
him will look when finished. You can show him, in 
the Manufacturers’ Section, every kind of material 
you propose to use in wall, partition and roof con- 
struction, flooring, exterior and interior trim, etc., 
together with the heating plant, hot water supply, 
bathroom and laundry fixtures, lighting equipment, 
and built-in conveniences. In short, you can show 
him, part by part, the house itself. With HOME 
BUILDERS CATALOG to aid you you ean build 
more and better homes because it instills confidence 
in your customers to have every detail of construction 
made clear to them in advance.

Suppose your customer expresses a preference for frame, 
brick, hollow tile, conerete block or stucco construction. You 
turn at once to the Plan Section and show him scores of dif- 
ferent designs in all of which the type of construction he 
prefers is used. Then you turn to the Manufacturers’ Section, 
and here under the proper classifications you find complete 
information on lumber, brick, hollow tile, concrete blocks, 
stueco, ete., together with hundreds of illustrations, many of 
them in color.

Description of Home Builders Catalog (Cont’d) 


Nothing short of actually building the house for 
him will give your customer so clear an idea of how 
his house will look when completed as a careful study 
of the Plan Section and Manufacturers’ Section of 
HOME BUILDERS CATALOG, 


Changes in Floor Plans 


The floor plans shown with each photographie illus- 
tration of the completed house are those that experi- 
ence has demonstrated to be best suited to that par- 
ticular type of home. Nevertheless it will sometimes 
happen that your customer will wish minor changes 
made. These you can promise him, as the Archi- 
tectural Department of HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
LOG is prepared to make such changes in the blue- 
print plans at nominal cost. 


Distinctive Designs 

Look at the illustration of ‘‘The Alta Vista’’ on 
page 782. Have you ever seen so much style and 
distinction in a house of plain gable roof construc- 
tion? You can see from the picture and the floor 
plans that this is not an expensive house to build 
but it has a charm and individuality all its own that 
will make it the most admired house in its neigh- 
borhood. 

This is only one of hundreds of similar designs that 
you will find in HOME BUILDERS CATALOG, 
each embodying features of designs, construction or 
interior arrangement that make them different from 
the ordinary run of houses. 

It costs no more to build a well designed house than 
one that is poorly designed, in fact it usually costs 
less, for in the well designed house every possible 
saving in labor costs and materials are provided for. 
Part of the money you save because of better design- 
ing can be used for the purchase of better materials 
and you are able to build a house in which first class 
materials only are used for the same cost, or less, than 
another contractor charges for a house constructed 
of inferior materials. 

Build Reputation Into Your Houses 


Nothing so increases the business of a building con- 
tractor as a reputation for building homes of char- 
acter—homes that are beautiful and distinctive in 
design and built of nationally known and approved 
materials. HOME BUILDERS CATALOG gives 
you in one great reference work the best designs and 
complete information concerning all classes of the 
best building materials. 


A Never-Failing Source of Inspiration 

‘‘He builds wisely who builds well,’’ but the home 
that is suitable for one family is not suitable for an- 
other, therefore in HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 
you will find all sizes and types of homes, ranging in 
cost from $3,500 to $15,000. Each design has some- 
thing about it that distinguishes it from the ordinary 
stock-plan house and each has actually been built 
from the plans we furnish you, so there is no guess 
work about it. 

Here in one big volume—too big to be mislaid but 
not too big to be easily carried with you—you have 
525 illustrations and floor plans of homes and garages, 
frame, brick, stucco, cement block and hollow tile, 
each designed by a master hand and each with a charm 
and character of its own. 


HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 


In other sections of HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
LOG are illustrations and descriptions of all the 
various materials used in the construction of a home, 
together with hundreds of suggestions for making ita 
more comfortable place to live in. 

More practical information and suggestions for the 
home builder have been packed into the 1,000 pages of 
HOME BUILDERS CATALOG than were ever be- 
fore included in a single volume. Just turning the 
pages at random will give you many an idea for im- 
proving the homes you build without adding to their 
cost. The contractor with ideas is the one the home 
builder likes to do business with and with HOME 
BUILDERS CATALOG beside you you will never 
lack for inspiration. 


A Co-operative Catalog of Building Materials 


Why burden yourself with a multitude of indi- 
vidual booklets and catalogs when in this one great 
reference work of home building construction—the 
HOME BUILDERS CATALOG—you have every- 
thing you can find elsewhere and in more convenient 
form for reference? 

The arrangement of HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
LOG in sections, and the complete index of contents 
enables you to turn instantly to the page containing 
the information you desire. 

A careful study of the pages of HOME BUILD 
ERS CATALOG will reveal many ideas of great prac- 
tical value—suggestions that you can pass on to your 
customers and that will result in better and more 
conveniently arranged homes. 


An Authoritative Reference Book 


In the preparation of HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
LOG we have not. relied upon our own large staff of 
building experts but have had the co-operation of the 
leading national associations affiliated with the build- 
ing industry as well as ‘the helpful assistance of hun- 
dreds of manufacturers of building materials. We 
believe, therefore, that HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
LOG is destined to become the recognized authority 
among Building Contractors on building construction 
and materials. 


To Be Published Annually 


In order that the latest information regarding con. 
struction materials and home equipment may be 
available to the Building Contractor, HOME BUILD- 
ERS CATALOG will be published annually. The 
present volume is for the year 1926. The 1927 edition 
will be larger and will contain many new features. 
We will appreciate comments on the present volume 
and suggestions for improvements. 

Tell us first what you think of the book now before 
you and how it will help you with your customers. 
Then, when you have studied each section carefully, 
tell us how we can make HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
LOG more helpful to Building Contractors. 

Every Building Contractor who writes us a letter 
of appreciation, or helpful suggestion, will receive a 
copy of the 1927 edition of HOME BUILDERS 
CATALOG.

BISHOPRIC INTER-LOCKING BASE 
FOR STUCCO OR PLASTER 


Made by 


THE BISHOPRIC MANUFACTURING CO 


CINCINNATI, OHIO 
Products 


Bishopric Stucco (described on next page), Bishopric Stucco Base and 
Plaster Base (described on this page) and Bishopric Sunfast Finish for stucco 
walls (described on next page). 


An Insulating Re-Inforcement, Especially Designed for Stucco Work 

Bishopric Base (or “Bishopric Board” as it is sometimes called) is designed 
especially for stucco work. It has been tested in thousands of buildings for a 
quarter of a century and is specified by leading architects and used by builders 
everywhere. 


Eminent Architect Uses Bishopric Base for his Own Buildings 


When an architect who stands at the top of his profession uses a building 
material in his own buildings you may safely follow his example. Ernest Flagg, 
architect of the Singer Building, New York ; the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, 
D. C.; and many other notable edifices, illustrates in his book “Small Houses,” 
a number of model homes he is erecting on his estate on Staten Island, New 
York. Among these are several half-timbered houses and on the plans “Bishopric” 
is indicated as a base for the stucco fill between the timbers.

Bishopric Interlocking Base 

Bishopric Base is the ideal foundation or backing for 
stucco work. It is a combination of building paper, 
sheathing, and insulation, none of which is required 
when Bishopric Base is used. It is made by heavily 
coating a fibre board with asphalt mastic and then 
pressing into the asphalt while still hot, evenly spaced, 
beveled wood bars. When nailed to the stads it forms 
a strong, rigid support for the stucco which keys per- 
fectly between the wood bars. 


Economical to Use 

Both in first cost and in the cost of labor for apply- 
ing Bishopric Base is decidedly economical. As already 
pointed out it takes the place of building paper, insu- 
lating material and sheathing, or lath, and is easily and 
quickly nailed in place since it comes in long rolls, 
giving the maximum of coverage with a minimum 
amount of labor. ‘There is no waste. 


Stronger than Lumber Sheathing 

Bishopric Base has been frequently tested for strength 
in comparison with lumber sheathing—at Yale Uni- 
versity by Professor Shepard, at New York City, Chi- 
cago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Mem- 
phis, by municipal officials, and elsewhere—and always 
with the same result; it is stronger, from 2 to 4 times 
stronger, than well con- * 
structed lumber sheathing. 
We shall be glad to send 
you detailed reports of these 
tests on request. 


BISHOPRIC BASE 


\ Dhe insulating REINFORCEMENT 


FOR EVERY STUCCO OR PLASTER WALL 


Bishopric Interlocking Base 
Is Elastic 

Owing to the manner in which it 
is constructed Bishopric Base, while 
bracing the frame of the building 
to which it is applied is yet suf- 
ficiently elastic to take up founda- 
tion settlements and shrinkage of 
lumber in the frame of the building, 
thus relieving the stucco of these 
strains and preventing cracking. 
The spaces between the wood bars 
are accurately spaced to provide the 
proper key for the stucco and to 
insure a base coat of the right thick- 
ness. The fiber board and asphalt 
mastic provide insulation and damp- 
proofing and Bishopric Base possesses 


also sounding-deadening qualities to 
a high degree. 


BISHOPRIC IN - 
TER - LOCKING 
BASE is shipped 
in rolls like this 
100 square feet

Bishopric Interlocking Plaster Base 

This is similar in construction to Bishopric Stucco Base 
but is designed for use on inside walls instead of exterior 
walls. It has all of the desirable qualities of Bishopric 
Stucco Base and effects a decided saving in the amount of 
plaster used as compared with wood lath, metal lath or 
hollow tile. The following figures, based on reports of 
leading plaster manufacturers tell the story:

Richardson Multicrome Roofs 


Manufactured by 
THE RICHARDSON COMPANY 
Lockland, (Cincinnati) Ohio 


Chicago; New Orleans; Atlanta; Dallas; 250 W. 57th St., New York City; 63 Albany St., Cambridge (Boston) 
West Coast Distributor: Zellerbach Paper Company, San Francisco 


Products: 


Richardson Multicrome Roofs (built of Richardson 
Super-Giant Shingles); Lok-Top Asphalt Shingles; 
Viskalt Membrane Roofs; Rubbertex Roll Roofings; 
Flex-a-tile Style-4 Slab Shingles; Individual Shingles;

plete line of Viskalt Paints, Cements and Coatings. 


The Roof In Color Harmony. 


Complete’ harmony of color, outside as well as in. 
the modern note in home decoration. 

True, the roof of a home must give protection against the 
elements. It must last. But as a prominent architectural 
feature of the house, it should also add to its beauty. 

Indeed, in a wise choice of roof, body and trim color lies 
your greatest opportunity to make beautiful the home you 
build. 

Realizing this, Richardson now offers you twelve distinctive 
roof colorings—many of them wholly new. 

In the slate surfacing of Richardson Multicrome Roofs, a 
rich variety of color has been created, hitherto approximated 
only in much more expensive types of roofs. In the panel 
below is given a complete list of the basic Richardson colors. 
Eight of them are shown on the other side of this page, 
together with a chart suggesting a few of the combinations 
in house trim, body and roof color which authorities especially 
recommend. 


That’s 


The Nine Basic 
Richardson Colors 


Weathered Brown 
Antique Brown 
Jade Green 

Gray Green 

Tile Red 

Dull Red 

Dusk Blue 
Heather Purple 
Black Pearl 


Three Exclusive 
Blends 


Opal—a beautiful ming- 
ling of weathered brown 
and gray green. 

Bronze Mosaic—an un- 
studied mixture of 
weathered brown and 
old red. 

Duotone Brown—a com- 
bination of two rich 
tones, antique brown 
and weathered brown. 


To Help You Choose. 


To help you choose the right roof for the right house, 
Richardson has prepared an authoritative booklet What Color 
tor the Roof? 

In it, there is page after page of beautiful homes in dif- 
ferent architectural styles, all in color to show the most tasteful 
effects in body, trim and roof combinations. Interestingly 
explained, too, are the principles of all good color schemes. 

And with the Richardson Harmonizer which it contains you 
can see the complete effect of 54 different roof and house 
combinations. 

The price of the book and harmonizer is 25ce. 
today, for your copy. 


50% Thicker Than the Ordinary Roof. 


The Multicrome Roof is built of Richardson Super-Giant 
Shingles—extra large, extra heavy. Its 50% greater thickness 
adds years of endurance. Its base is sturdy, long-fibre Richard- 
son felt. Its waterproofing is Viskalt—99.8% pure bitumen, 
especially vacuum-processed. Its surface is slate in close, over- 
lapping flakes—further protection against weather and fire 
hazards. 

This roof gives the maximum value at a moderate price. 
It is’ economical to lay and equally good for new or over- 
the-old-roof jobs. 


The Multicrome Thatch. 

This new Richardson roof, with its blended tones of weath- 
ered brown and dull red suggests the mellow English downs 
in every curve. It is an easy roof to apply, too. No expensive 
cutting or trimming is necessary to secure the realistic thatch 
effect. It comes in convenient sections, ready to lay.

A PRACTICAL PLAN SERVICE 


‘The Plan Service available in connection with Home 
Builders Catalog is the most comprehensive and prac- 
tical ever devised for the benefit of building contractors. 
Every one of the 696 plans of frame, brick, brick veneer, 
tile and stucco houses and garages illustrated in this 
great reference work of home building construction has 
actually been built. You can show your customer in 
Home Builders Catalog an illustration of his home as 
it will appear when finished—made from a photograph 
—the house, itself, surrounded by trees, lawn and 
flowers. This is what home builders want—photo- 
graphic illustrations, not imaginary drawings of what 
you propose to build for them. 


We maintain a large force of architectural designers, 
engineers and estimators, all men of long experience 
and proven ability. Our homes are thoroughly modern 
in every particular, yet designed with a practical 
knowledge of building materials and construction 
methods that enable the contractor to keep the price 
within limits that the average home builder can afford. 


Home Builders Catalog is published by the same men 
who for 12 years have conducted the Architectural & 
Publicity Bureau—the Bureau whose plan service is 
used by eleven of the leading Retail Lumber Associations 
of America. 


Because of our long experience in this line of work, 
our large and capable staff of building experts, and the 
great volume of business we do, we are able to produce 
and furnish blue-print plans, specifications, material 
lists, ete., of higher quality and at a lower price than 
any other concern. 


HOME BUILDERS CATALOG is our latest and 
most effective aid to building contractors—a book that 
will enable you to build more and better homes. 


This book illustrates the largest assortment of 
original and modern home designs yet published, and 
we believe will completely answer the individual needs 
of every enterprising and up-to-date builder. All plans 
were selected for their distinctive architectural merits 
and adaptability to the modern trend in home design 
and construction. 


The illustrations include about: 
225 Homes of All Frame Construction. 
125 Homes of Brick Construction. 
125 Homes with Stucco Outside Walls. 
51 Garages of Popular Type. 


together with additional plans of homes, illustrated 
with plans for designing with and without basements, 
totaling 696 different plans. 


Detailed Blue-Print Working Plans 


The blue-prints for each home or garage include all elevations, floor plans, 
sections and details necessary to enable the contractor to erect with a clear 
understanding and show all dimensions and notations, leaving nothing to guess 
work, thus saving much time and labor also insuring against errors. 


Classified Guide for Listing Quantity of Materials 


This includes 16 pages, made up in systematic form that enables the contractor 
to take off accurately and quickly, quantities of materials without danger of 


omitting important items. 


Specifications and Blank Contract Forms 


With each set of plans are also furnished, Specifications and Contract forms. 

The Specifications enable the contractor to erect building in a manner satisfactory 
to the owner and state clearly all essential terms of the agreement between owner 
and contractor, thus helping to prevent misunderstandings and disputes. 


The Contract Forms give legality to the agreement set forth in the 


Specifications. 


Plans Altered to Suit Home Owner 


We maintain a Service Department for the purpose of co-operating with the 
contractor in altering blue-print plans to conform to the wishes of his customers. 
Our charge for such alterations is very reasonable.

TUCCO, face brick, shingle thatched roof, and half timbered gables have all been carefully blended to 

produce this beautiful bungalow. Only five rooms yet it offers seven room efficiency. The use of a full 
size disappearing bed in the living room trans- 
forms this into another bed room at night. Like- 
wise the same arrangement is provided for the 
sewing room. Space saving devices in the 
kitchen make it a very efficient and compact 
work room.

Apes expense of maintaining a two-apart-

maintaining the single home, while the rent 
received is a great aid in paying for the cost 
of construction. A design like the above will 
enable two families to dwell in comfort and 
happiness. |

to be the most profitable investment for 
those who build either for sale or for rent.

HE stateliness and grandeur of the old Southern Colonial style is preserved in the 

“Altecrest.” For sheer majesty in a home nothing will ever replace the tall 
colonial columns. Inside we find the same simple grandeur. The garage at side, 
the two alcoves and downstairs toilet should be noticed. Face brick exterior walls 
and tile for roof is a combination of strength and durability.

“The APACHE” 26 Ft. Wide x 46 Ft. Deep 


BXPERIENCE has taught that this type of 


bungalow is eminently practical and inex- 


pensive to build. In appearance, however, the . ¥ 
“Apache” differs from other bungalows of this ‘ 
type mainly because of the attractive mixing of 
stucco with face brick. The arched effect of the i 
porch is carried into the reception hall openings 3 


into dining and living rooms. Comfortable and 
handy to live in.
